How are you invoking XWin? Do you use the startxwin.sh script? If so,
XWin is invoked in multi-window mode, which uses the Windows screen as the
X screen. Try invoking XWin directly, and giving it the -screen parameter
(see the man page for instructions on specifying the screen size), and
-scrollbars to allow resizing/scrolling.
