I usually start emacs along with the xserver by typing "startxwin > /usr/bin/emacs" in the MinTTY console. This works without problems.

I bring up X (along with the first xterm window) by using this Windows-XP shortcut: C:\cygwin\bin\run.exe /usr/bin/bash.exe -l -c "/usr/bin/startxwin.exe -- -nolock" After, I do everything through said xterm window. Opening emacs by right clicking the X tray icon produces similar results to doing so through the command line: it takes a very long time. --Dan -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://x.cygwin.com/docs/ FAQ: http://x.cygwin.com/docs/faq/
