Jose,
For the record, one of my colleagues got it working today, and I think
that you were "close to the mark" :). Let me explain...
I had neglected (sorry) to mention that we're in an environment where we
can't run directly as root (this is on RHEL 4), but instead have to use
sudo.
What I was doing earlier was ssh'ing to the Linux server, then doing a
"sudo bash", doing the "export DISPLAY=...", then running the
startconsole to startup the Sun DS console.
So, today, I was fooling around with this with one of the other guys,
and instead of doing the "sudo bash", he just did the "export
DISPLAY=...", and then just "sudo ./startconsole", and, voila, we got
the console GUI and were able to login without it disappearing.
I had not tried that previously, because I had thought that the "export
DISPLAY=..." wouldn't have survived the sudo, but I guess it does.
I'm not 100% sure what the problem was with doing the "sudo bash", but I
believe it had something to do with "who we were logged-in as", so I
think that you were pretty close. Maybe someone here who's more
familiar with sudo, etc. and Cygwin X might be able to provide an
explanation.
Anyway, thanks for continuing to followup with this, and hope that this
helps someone someday :)...
Later,
Jim

Didn't think so either, but it was a thought... I spent many hours
trying to figure it out, and that was what fixed it. Sorry.

Jose,
It doesn't seem that that would be the problem in our case, since, as
I mentioned in original message, if I use Hummingbird Exceed as my X
server (with logging into the server with Sun DS as the same Linux
account), it works perfectly.
That Xwin.log that I included in my msg seems to indicate that it's
having a problem with starting the Clipboard. Would that cause this
problem, and if so, how to fix it?

Sorry about that. I created the account at linux server which I
wanted to connect to.

Jose,
When you say "create a new account", which account did you mean?
FYI, both myself and two other colleagues tried this, each with our
own Windows accounts and accounts on the Linux machine where Sun DS
is on, and all 3 of us (so far) have had this problem.

I don't know if it is the same or not, but I had a similar problem
with a Gentoo server. I tried everything, but once I recreated the
account, I was able to connect. Try creating a new account and
give it a try. Just a thought...
thanks,

Hi,
I'm new here, but I'm trying to use Cygwin X to access the
administration console for Sun Directory Server 6.1. I run
startxwin.bat, get the xterm window, run "xhost +" and then SSH to
the server, export DISPLAY, and start the console using a command
called "startconsole". This causes the console GUI to appear but
when I type in my username/password, everything, including the
original xterm window disappears.
I've tried access the admin console using Hummingbird Exceed, and
that seems to work fine. This problem only occurs when I use
Cygwin X.
The XWin.log file has the following in it after this happens:
_XSERVTransmkdir: Owner of /tmp/.X11-unix should be set to root
_XSERVTransmkdir: Mode of /tmp/.X11-unix should be set to 1777
