If you set DISPLAY=127.0.0.1:0.0 than you need
   startxwin -listen
as '-nolisten tcp' is now the default

"startxwin.exe" was replaced by the script "startxwin"
for that the old shurtcut was replaced by the new one.

If extra program are started that you don't want
looks on the contents of
  ".startxwinrc"
