I'd like to report a problem, though I suspect licensing may impede debugging. (I'll try to get any information requested.) Locally I'm running cygwin 1.3.22-1 (with xfree* updated today) atop w2k sp3. I want to X into an RHL8 box (here "1.2.3.4") on which I want to run IBM's WebSphere Studio Site Developer Express (for testing). 1.2.3.4 requires ssh and is inside a firewall.
WebSphere Studio products typically put up a configuration dialog, then display the full UI. When my startxwin.bat has - start XWin -multiwindow -clipboard -unixkill I get my xterm, in which I run # local xhost + 1.2.3.4 ssh -X -l userid 1.2.3.4 # remote cd /opt/IBM/WebSphere/Express/SiteDeveloper ./wasexpress51 & This launches the dialog. When I hit OK (taking the harmless defaults), taskmgr shows some activity, until XWin.exe GPFs. But if I use + start XWin -clipboard -unixkill + REM Startup an xterm, using bash as the shell. + run xterm -sl 1000 -sb -rightbar -ms red -fg white -bg blue -e /usr/bin/bash + REM Startup the twm window manager. + REM WARNING: Do not use an external window manager in conjunction with + REM the ``-multiwindow'' command-line parameter for XWin. Doing so + REM would start two window managers, which is never supposed to happen. + run twm in my startxwin.bat, and run the same xterm session above, both the dialog and the full IDE launch properly.
