Running W7.  Typed X -multiwindow & got message above -- Make sure an Xserver isn't already running.
When I go to /var/log/xwin, the XWin.0.log listing is as follows:

ddxProcessArgument - Initializing default screens
winInitializeScreenDefaults - primary monitor w 1920 h 1080
winInitializeDefaultScreens - native DPI x 96 y 96
_XSERVTransSocketINETCreateListener: ...SocketCreateListener<> failed
_XSERVTransMakeAllCOTSServerListeners: server already running

Fatal server error:
Cannot establish any listening sockets - Make sure an X server isn't already running

How do I fix this? As far as I can tell there is no X server already running.
