Subject: default X wm + .LIBX11.DLL missing

Hello

Last query for a while, don't want to wear you guys out ... Everything 
is OK, got bash, vim, rxvt working as I want them but I have one last 
problem ...

I have installed X.

When I executed "startx" It paused, then booted X, and booted into a 
window manager. All OK

Problem 1... I decided to change the window manager to openbox 
(apparently related to blackbox?) so I found
/etc/x11/xinit/xinitrc, deleted the window manager & typed in openbox. 
Stupid in the extreme, I should have #d it out.... what is the default 
window manager for startx ?

Problem 2... openbox does not want to work. X starts & I get a popup "A 
required .DLL file LIBX11.DLL was not found" ... mmm .... I went to 
windows update, updated my adged 98SE & tried again. Same message. I 
tried starting openbox without startx, assumed it would call startx & 
maybe be happier, zip, just same message again.

At a guess cygwin is fine, and 98SE is lacking a "DLL?" If this is the 
case Its a windows problem and OT. I will go contact some windows gurus 
! Before I do that can anyone confirm this is a windows problem ?

Dave
