Still no change for me with wmaker.

Yes, obviously that's the difference. Just adding another set_gfx_mode()
makes the demo program start. I tried adding another
_xwin_private_create_screen in xwin.c where your patch adds one, but
that doesn't help. I can try tomorrow to find out which part of
set_gfx_mode has to be repeated to make it work.. but all xwin-related
code looks strange to me. Everyone should just use Gnome :)
