Is there any command that can list all opened windows on my desktop?
I normally have about 50~100 windows open on my desktop (xterm, emacs, mozilla, etc), (all being well managed), thanks to the fantastic windows-grouping of fluxbox. This is really something I can boast about, but I want to know/show exactly how many they are…
thanks

Wmctrl is a command line tool to interact with an EWMH/NetWM compatible X Window Manager (examples include enligthenment, icewm, kwin, metacity, and sawfish).
Hmm, I don't have it and I'm using fluxbox, so that might not be useful.

Ah, yes, the last resort.
xwininfo -root -tree | grep -Ev 'has no name|[[:digit:]]+ child|Parent window id:|^ *$' | sed -r 's/^[ 0-9a-fx]+//; /^"Gecko": ()/d;' | sort | tee /dev/tty | wc -l
I got 71, hehe, not bad. :-)

Yes, XFree86 supports this. My /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xdm/Xservers file has:
:0 local /usr/X11R6/bin/X :0 vt07 -bpp 8 :1 local /usr/X11R6/bin/X :1 vt08 -bpp 32

Yes you can.
$startx $startx -- :1
On my system I switch between the two X sessions by using CTRL-ALT-F7 and CTRL-ALT-F8.
man xinit

: Try putting the stuff you want to launch at startup into your .xinitrc : (somewhere near the bottom of this file)
Unless, you want the twm to control the termination of the session, as will often be expected. So, instead of
twm& exec some_application
perhaps
(sleep 5; some_application & )& exec twm
