Probably the simplest way is to replace your existing /usr/bin/XWin.exe 
with it (after making a copy of the original so you can put it back 
afterwards)

I discovered that there is some RANDR state which doesn't always get 
initialized correctly, so also just running 'xrandr' might be a 
workaround (which was confusing me greatly when testing things :))

I built another snapshot which fixes that, which you might also like to try.
