Thanks for reporting this. 1.10.2-1 has a change to write the keymap to a temporary file and use system() to run xkbcomp, rather than write it to a pipe and fork() xkbcomp (to avoid fork() failures preventing the X server from starting), using code that already exists for this purpose on for xming. But it seems I had failed to add the patch that xming has to ensure that these temporary files are cleaned up correctly. I'll fix this and update the X server, but in the meantime you should be able to remove these temporary files once the server has started with no ill effects :-) -- Jon TURNEY Volunteer Cygwin/X X Server maintainer -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://x.cygwin.com/docs/ FAQ: http://x.cygwin.com/docs/faq/
