Try putting in the -multiplemonitors option.
When I had the same problem last year, the option helped.

If you run XWin --help, you get the following:

100,100 size 800x600
> -screen 0 1024x768@3 ; 3rd monitor size 1024x768
> -screen 0 @1 ; on 1st monitor using its full
resolution (the default)
BTW - I didn't say so in my OP, but I also tried "XWin -screen
0 @1", which
is suggested above, and that only got me a 1024x768 windowed
XWin on the
secondary monitor.
