(I think I've seem the same symptom on my Windows 2000 system at home, but I can't confirm that at the moment.) I've installed the latest updates for Cygwin, including xorg-x11-xwin version 6.7.0.0-2. I start the XWin server from a Cygwin bash shell, using the following command: /usr/X11R6/bin/XWin.exe -fullscreen -emulate3buttons & And something that I hadn't noticed before: XWin.exe produces a bunch of output on stderr (the last three lines show up when I terminate it): ======================================================================== Welcome to the XWin X Server Vendor: The Cygwin/X Project Release: 6.7.0.0-1 Contact: [EMAIL PROTECTED] XWin was started with the following command line: /usr/X11R6/bin/XWin -fullscreen -emulate3buttons OsVendorInit - Creating bogus screen 0 _XSERVTransmkdir: Owner of /tmp/.X11-unix should be set to root winValidateArgs - g_iNumScreens: 1 iMaxConsecutiveScreen: 1 winValidateArgs - Returning.
