I have done additional testing on this problem and it seems that the first
user to login and run 'startxwin' owns all of the log and lock files and
this is what is causing the problem. The first user can continue using xwin
without issues, but no other users can do it after that.
If someone would upgrade xwin to to make these file names unique for each
user it should solve the problem. Meanwhile, I'm envisioning several
workarounds.
