I suggested the XMing server as a workaround for XWin failing to start. I think such a workaround is on-topic here. (Meanwhile I have managed to fix that problem in two different ways, thanks to the advice on this list - see my earlier message - but these fixes don't appear to work for Katrin.) When I was using XMing, I just launched it from its own start menu item, then started Cygwin bash and launched an xterm from it. Once that worked, I automated it into a shortcut - its target is: C:\cygwin\bin\nohup.exe /usr/bin/env PATH=/usr/bin DISPLAY=localhost:0 xterm -e tcsh which leaves an ugly cmd shell on the screen, but I didn't bother to fix that. -- Reinier -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://x.cygwin.com/docs/ FAQ: http://x.cygwin.com/docs/faq/
