I just installed Scribus from ftp://sunsite.dk/projects/cygwinports, no problem
with the install, but when I tried to run it I got the:

   "Mutex init failure: Invalid argument"

after the splash screen displays for a while and the application really starts.

Anyone seen this?  Any solutions?

Yes, I have as well. It seems to happen with all C++ Qt or KDE apps; PyQt apps (e.g. convertall, also available through Cygwin Ports) don't generate this message. Despite the message, the programs seem to run correctly anyways.

Now that I know that this is not just a local issue, I'll try researching this further; this would appear to have something to do with the Qt threading code.

Thanks for your report.
