I've integrated Lothar's patch into run2/checkX (along with some other

I still have the instability that I reported as problem #2 in
http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin-xfree/2009-10/msg00143.html
but I wasn't expecting you to fix that. As I said later in the
thread, I suspect BLODA.
But the new behavior of the timeout option (my problem #1) works
fine, with one caveat: If I start the X server with startxwin.bat,
it immediately exits and claims that a server is already running.
This was also reported earlier today by Jim Reisert:
http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin-xfree/2009-11/msg00158.html
Could it be that checkX is tricking XWin into thinking that a
different X server is running? (I have no idea how XWin decides
whether an X server is running, so this may or may not be
plausible.) Strangely, the problem doesn't occur if I use
startxwin.sh instead of startxwin.bat.
has it something to do with the -wait option to checkX that is present
in the startxwin.bat? I had to remove that option, since it broke
the start of the X server. And I now note it is not in the bash version.
If you remove -wait but still start checkX with run, then you might as
well not use checkX at all. (run will return immediately, leaving
checkX running in the background.)
