Summary0009824: The Kali WSL Win-KeX seamless mode actually launches Win-KeX Window Mode.
Description

When I ran the Win-KeX Seamless Mode command (kex --sl), it launched Win-KeX Window Mode (kex --win) instead.

I would like to thank the administrator of this website:
https://hacklido.com/blog/798-run-kali-linux-in-windows-winlux-seamless-integration-between-windows-and-kali-linux

Thanks to the command:
kex --sl -s & while true; do pkill -9 xfdesktop; done

...I was able to run Win-KeX Seamless Mode correctly.

I have included a video recording as proof.
