It was happening because PATH was not being set. The problem went away when I used /startxwin.bat instead of /bin/startxwin.exe. If PATH is not being set, then you're probably not running startxwin.exe from a login shell.

Re: xterm process exists but no window appears when XWin Server launched (current release)

Re: Can't start xterm from Cygwin/X icon in system tray
On 30/12/2009 11:07, Jim Reisert AD1C wrote: I do not have a ~/.startxwinrc file. The xterm that is supposed to be created when the server starts doesn't start either. The symptom is that xterm.exe is shown running in the task manager, but there is no Xterm window on the desktop. This sounds like it has nothing to do with startxwin. I can't reproduce this, but do any of the following help: 1) creating a ~/.startxwinrc containing just xterm ? 2) changing that .startxwinrc to run xterm? 3) setting LANG=en_US.ISO-8859-1 ? 4) installing the font-daewoo-misc, font-isas-misc, and font-jis-misc packages?

Re: [ANNOUNCEMENT] Updated: xinit-1.2.0-2
