But it is a system mount and not a user mount, which means it is stored in the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE part of the registry and will require administrator privileges to remove. If you log on as administrator and try to umount, it should succeed. Don't worry about recreating the mount using the e: drive, it shouldn't be necessary. It was only ever needed to force the fonts directory to binmode and your mounts are binmode anyway. And on top of that, the problem with textmode fonts directory has been worked around elsewhere, so it is now extraneous.

Re: gnome problem - can't logout properly
I've also encountered problems logging out of Gnome -- not via Cygwin/X, though, but via NX.

Problems launching X
Hi! I have installed cygwin/X in my secondary hard disk (e:\cygwin) on Win2k as a normal user (i.e., not administrator) and while everything worked beautifully last week, today I cannto launch X using startwinx.sh or startx. I get the following message at the end of the startx output: Fatal server error: could not open default font 'fixed' I have checked the FAQ, and tried to solve the problem along the lines in that document. First, the output from mount that shou $ mount C:\cygwin\usr\X11R6\lib\X11\fonts on /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts type system (binmode) e:\cygwin\bin on /usr/bin type user (binmode) e:\cygwin\lib on /usr/lib type user (binmode) e:\cygwin on / type user (binmode) c: on /cygdrive/c type user (binmode,noumount) d: on /cygdrive/d type user (binmode,noumount) e: on /cygdrive/e type user (binmode,noumount) [...] I have tried to umount the /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts directory, but I get a permission denied problem. In fact, the fonts directory does not exist on this directory. Previously to this installation, cygwin used to reside on c:\cygwin, and the /usr/X11R6... directory seems to point to c:\cygwin, ratheer than to e:\cygwin (where it now resides), but I don't know where cygwin gets its mount table from. I suspect that this is where the problem lies. Can anyone shed any light on this problem?

gnome problem - can't logout properly
Guys, I have spent a few hours googling for this, without success. Essentially, I have that latest version of cygwin & cygwin/x loaded on my laptop, and can make a connection with xdmcp just fine. When logging in under KDE, everything works fine. Logging in under Gnome goes fine, until I go to logout. I click the logout on the panel and the system seems to hang. If I kill x on the laptop, next time I login to gnome, I get an error message that the panel is already running (and I have to manually kill it). One strange thing I noticed was that on another occasion when I logged in and got the panel, then logged out after waiting for about 5 minutes, I got the logout confirmation panel. I am planning on trying on older version of cygwin.dll, as I have this working on another laptop and my other XP server. Any other ideas would be greatly appreciated (I like KDE, but prefer gnome.).
