If that's all you have in ~/.xinitrc, you won't see anything because there are no windows for the WM to decorate. I know that. Sorry for being to short with the description. The X-Server dies when openbox starts, and it shouldn't do that, even without a window manager. But i see this only every tenth attempt to start openbox, while the original poster seems to have this every time. And I changed /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc, no ~/.xinitrc Interestingly, putting openbox at the end of the start script and doing exec openbox-session /tmp/openbox.log 21 seems to stop that, but i haven't tried enough to be sure. -- 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/

That is to let ssh know which connection to forward. 'Inside' the ssh connection the forwarding mechanism will set DISPLAY. If you change it, it will be wrong.

Re: display depth changing when using remote desktop and -multiwindow option, unable to set depth manually with -multiwindow
Jason May schrieb: I believe that Cygwin is detecting the optimal display settings on startup and determining it to be less than 32-bit when initiated through remote desktop. I would use the -depth command line option to manually set the depth to 32 bits, but this does not work with multiwindow enabled. Is there another way that I can manually set the display depth? You can't set Xwins display depth larger than the Desktop it is running on. Usually that would be 16 Bit with rdp sessions. Did you ever check on the rdp Windows Desktop that you really get 32 Bit in Windows? Because i get 16 Bit even if i request 24 Bit. I have tried modifying the .inputrc file for 8-bit mode as follows, but had the same problem. That has no influence on Xwin. A possible solution would be a ssh connection and tunneling X11 through it.
