Thanks for the references. As for the cygwin-x-faq.html reference, I don't see
the output symptomatic of Zone Alarm 5 causing trouble, so I gues that's not
it, and all my mounts are binary, so it's not the /tmp issue.
As for the long list of software in the cygwin FAQ that is known to interfere
with cygwin, I'm sure I have some of that running (like citrix McAfee), but
as this is a work computer, I can't uninstall that stuff.
To try to pin it down a little more, I straced startxwin found some winsock
errors showing up (see below). They keep repeating over and over again, so I
guss that's where it's hanging there must be some sort of interference at the
socket level. Any way to pin it down more precisely, or even work around it?
Thanks,
Harvey
