XWin tries to start xkbcomp. This process start fails because ZoneAlarm has broken the network stack and the cygwin fork emulation does not work properly. Disabling XKB is a workaround but not the solution. Every user which had this problem could confirm that uninstalling ZoneAlarm 5 (just disabling does not help) did solve the problem. So this is obviously a firewall problem. bye ago -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.gotti.org ICQ: 126018723
