Usually I start the X system with a link on the desktop to starxwin.bat.
After installing the snapshots 20060314 only the dos window appears for an instant (as it must) but the xterm windows does not display itself. Cygwin.bat starts and ps shows: ------------------------------------------------------------------ $ ps PID PPID PGID WINPID TTY UID STIME COMMAND 1636 1 1636 1636 ? 500 00:36:49 /usr/X11R6/bin/XWin 1508 1 1508 1508 con 500 00:37:32 /usr/bin/bash 1584 1508 1584 1116 con 500 00:38:49 /usr/bin/ps ------------------------------------------------------------------ i.e. XWin is running.

The test packages used are: bash-3.1-3 bashdb-3.1-0.04-1 coreutils 5.94-4 emacs-21.3.50-2 emacs-el-21.3.50-2 emacs-X11-21.3.50-2 findutils-4.3.0-1 lesstif-0.94.4-1 The first time I noted this behaviour I have got also a stackdump from bash (bash.exe.stackdump): but only once! With the previous snapshots these problems were absent (I reinstalled 20060313 16:23:56).
