Could you please use the same ldesc text as the CLI vim version and just add the last sentence? But what's worse is this: $ uname -a CYGWIN_NT-5.1 cathi 1.5.19(0.149/4/2) [...] $ export DISPLAY=calimero:1 <- My Linux X server $ gvim Vim: Caught deadly signal SYS Vim: Finished. $ I have no chance to connect to my X server running on my Linux box, which is a xorg-x11-Xvnc-6.8.1. From the strace output I can only see that kill(2) is called, but there's no hint about the reason. Using vim -V shows: [...lots of "Searching for foo.{xpm,bmp}"...] Searching for "bitmaps/FindHelp.bmp" in "/home/corinna/.vim,/usr/share/vim/vimfiles,/usr/share/vim/vim64,/usr/share/vim/vimfiles/after,/home/corinna/.vim/after" Searching for "/home/corinna/.vim/bitmaps/FindHelp.bmp" Searching for "/usr/share/vim/vimfiles/bitmaps/FindHelp.bmp" Searching for "/usr/share/vim/vim64/bitmaps/FindHelp.bmp" Searching for "/usr/share/vim/vimfiles/after/bitmaps/FindHelp.bmp" Searching for "/home/corinna/.vim/after/bitmaps/FindHelp.bmp" not found in 'runtimepath': "bitmaps/FindHelp.bmp"Vim: Caught deadly signal SYS Writing viminfo file "/home/corinna/.viminfo"Vim: Finished. However, I tried with a local Xming server, which worked fine. Needless to say that I don't have any problem to run other Cygwin X apps as xterm or gs. Nor do I have a problem with the Linux gvim (using the gnome GUI). Corinna -- Corinna Vinschen Please, send mails regarding Cygwin to Cygwin Project Co-Leader cygwin AT cygwin DOT com Red Hat
