Recently i have started using Insight (https://sourceware.org/insight/)
under Cygwin/X. Everything is quite good except one thing.
I remember once upon a time i worked on MacOS X. There, X server starts up
automatically if there is some program requesting it. On Cygwin i still have
to run it by hands. Is is possible to set up autostart of the X server ? May
be i just don't know how to do it ?
I believe this is arranged using launchd on OS X, which listens on the
socket the X server will use, and starts the X server when something
connects.
Unfortunately, there is no similar system facility on Windows.
You can achieve a somewhat similar effect by copying the X server
shortcut to the startup group to start it automatically at login, at the
cost of slowing down system startup somewhat.
