Re: Cygwin 1.7 hangs with my .xinitrc
Hi Thanks for the work around, seems to work ok. One more detail about this I just remembered... On Cygwin 1.5 version, some of the windows that I bring up don't seem to know their own size. I always seem to have to resize some of the windows (particularly on the second virtual screen) and then run 'ls' to see if the resize took. The sleep may help somewhat here but I still have to resize a window or two. -- Cheers, /X\ David A.

I seem to end up with a few of the xterms spinning somewhere and trying to use 100% CPU, and outputting the following: No protocol specified xterm Xt error: Can't open display: :0 After inserting 'sleep 1' into the .xinitrc before each xterm seems to start up without trouble, so I guess there's some sort of timing condition somewhere, although I've no idea where... I have had `sleep 1` statements after each xterm launch in my .xinitrc for years, having encountered a similar problem. At least I'm pretty sure it was a similar problem... yes, I should have reported it then.

It hangs in a way where I can't open anything else and have to pull the power to computer. If I comment out all the xterm's it works fine. What an interesting .xinitrc :-) I can reproduce the problem using it.
