Normally I use the Xming X Window manager if I'm not running the twm
Window Manager executed from Cygwin.
Lets make sure we're on the same page.
Xming X Window manager -> from a quick glance, this is an X server, not a window manager. It's corresponding
executable in cygwin would be Xwin.exe, started via either startx or startxwin.exe.
twm and openbox (and openbox-session which adds some autostart and xdg interactions to an openbox manages
session) are window managers. window managers require an xserver to be started first, all the X applications
'paint' themselves on the Xserver. The window manager, allows you to 'manage' those applications (size,
location, minimize,maximize etc ).
So running openbox or openbox-session w/o an X server already running will fail
ala above.
Have you had a chance to read through my previous post?
