Hi,
I installed cygwin today and I have problems is starting X as a user.
Installation was done as Admin - and I can open X-Windows shells and
programs as administrator. But when I try the same as Windows user I get
error messages.
Unfortunately, my UNIX knowledge is quite outdated - but I guess it
might be a problem with user rights.
I tried chmod 1777 /tmp but that didn't help. Before I search for ages
- maybe someone knows a quick solution.
Thanks,
Michael
