Hi

I like to start X with a whole bunch of windows instead of creating each
time.  In Cygwin 1.5 I did this with no problem.

In 1.7 this hangs.   It hangs in a way where I can't open anything else

I can reproduce the problem using it. 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...
