Wmaker, massive handle leak with Xorg


The window manager "Windowmaker" has a massive handle leak,
loosing about 50 handles per second, until the Windows kernel
runs out of buffer memory (after 12 hours or so, then everything fails,
socket api functions etc.)

I think this is the same problem Volker Zell reported at January 11. I just
updated my cygwin, so the problem is still present in the current
software.

I simply changed in "startxwin.sh"

 XWin -multiwindow -clipboard -silent-dup-error &
 ...

to

 XWin -clipboard  -silent-dup-error &
 sleep 2
 wmaker &
 sleep 2
 ...

With "fvwm" or "twm" i have no problems.
