Hi, To start off with I have been using Cygwin for years and I must aplaude all of the dev team for the great work they do. Unfortunatly I have hit a snag which I really puzzeling me.
I normally start an Xwin.exe server at startup. This works fine and the process runs. The I start xterm.exe processes using the attached script. Now about half the xterm that I start do not seem to hook into the Xwin server the other half hook fine and show me an xterm screen. It's just completely random and I cannot figure for the life of me what is stopping these hooks. Here is the output of Xwin.exe: _XSERVTransmkdir: ERROR: euid != 0,directory /tmp/.X11-unix will not be created. (II) XF86Config is not supported (II) See http://x.cygwin.com/docs/faq/cygwin-x-faq.html for more information winAdjustVideoModeShadowGDI - Using Windows display depth of 32 bits per pixel winAllocateFBShadowGDI - Creating DIB with width: 1600 height: 1200 depth: 32 winInitVisualsShadowGDI - Masks 00ff0000 0000ff00 000000ff BPRGB 8 d 24 bpp 32 null screen fn ReparentWindow null screen fn RestackWindow InitQueue - Calling pthread_mutex_init InitQueue - pthread_mutex_init returned InitQueue - Calling pthread_cond_init InitQueue - pthread_cond_init returned winInitMultiWindowWM - Hello winInitMultiWindowWM - Calling pthread_mutex_lock () winMultiWindowXMsgProc - Hello winMultiWindowXMsgProc - Calling pthread_mutex_lock () MIT-SHM extension disabled due to lack of kernel support XFree86-Bigfont extension local-client optimization disabled due to lack of shared memory support in the kernel (--) Setting autorepeat to delay=250, rate=31 (--) winConfigKeyboard - Layout: "00020409" (00020409) (--) Using preset keyboard for "English (USA, International)" (20409), type "4" (EE) Couldn't load XKB keymap, falling back to pre-XKB keymap (--) 5 mouse buttons found Could not init font path element /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/TTF/, removing from list!

If I look at the taskmgr then I have about 40 xterms of which only 20 or so are on the screen. If I kill the X server then it only tells me that 20 clients are connected.
