installing a window manager - help please
Hi, I'm feeling pretty frustrated and stupid at the moment, because after 3 days of installing/reinstalling cygwin, trying to install various window managers like fvwm, and trying the various configurations and start methods of same, I can't get so much as a basic window manager started with the ability to open a new xterm. Some configurations give me the seemingly infamous can't open display:localhost:0.0 (I've tried 127.0.0.1 also), whilst some will complain that there's another window manager running (I can't find anything in the task manager that would be another wm). I'm going a bit crazy here as there doesn't seem to be any step-by-step setup instructions (for cygwin AND a window manager) anywhere on the net that I can find. If this is wrong, please correct me. I've obviously read things like (http://x.cygwin.com/docs/ug/using-window-managers.html) which give the basic theory, i.e. you can't run more than one wm etc, but there doesn't seem to be anything explaining how to get a basic setup working BEFORE doing anything fancy with configurations. Alternatively, if there's somewhere that someone has a complete install zipped up that I could potentially grab and just run it, that'd be great. I realise this is all open-source software and I'm not moaning about anything other than my own lack of ability to get this working. Any help is appreciated. cheers, Ian This e-mail and any files transmitted with it are intended only for the use of the addressee(s). It may contain information that is confidential and privileged.

Re: installing a window manager - help please
It's probably best to address things one at a time. Immediately after you do the install (i.e. before you make changes), what happens when you double-click startxwin.bat?

Re: installing a window manager - help please
I can't get so much as a basic window manager started with the ability to open a new xterm. Assuming you have a full install, or at least sufficient to run XWin, is this any good at least to get you going? Sorry if this is the one thing you can do ... in which case sorry for wasting your time. 1. Start with bash --login -i 2. At the bash prompt check your PATH. It should look something like this: ~ echo $PATH /home/yourname/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/X11R6/bin:/usr/bin:/bin 3. If so you can usefully reduce the length of the following two lines, but full pathnames are included if you need them (or want to see them): /usr/X11R6/bin/run /usr/X11R6/bin/XWin -nolisten local -multiwindow /bin/xterm -display localhost:0.0 The -nolisten local switch is something I have found to work if your machine is not permanently connected online. (For some reason I don't understand and which may even be good, Xwin constantly listens to network connections and throws a fit if it can't hear anything.) 4. Once you've got Xwin up and running you can jump in and out of xterm and back to bash as you please. You don't have to start Xwin a 2nd time (in fact it objects if you do). If you prefer to, you can set DISPLAY in your environment and not have to type -display ... each time. 5. If after this you make more progress with fvwm please let me know as I can't get anywhere either. Fergus

I run XWin.exe -multiwindow -clipboard -dpi 100 . I can copy and paste from X to Windows clients, but not from Windows to X clients. Windows to Windows and X to X copies also work fine. I know I've seen postings about this problem in the past, but I can't find anything recent about it and I don't know what the status is. The problem has persisted for me for a long time, on two different Windows XP boxes. Any help appreciated. cygcheck -svr is attached. Andrew.

startxwin.bat absent after fresh install
Hi, I have just freshly installed cygwin/xfree (although I had it before and completely uninstalled it). Following the documentation, I looked for startxwin.bat (or .sh) but they are not in /usr/X11R6/bin as stated. I have selected the xwinwm package. That in itself, I believe, should have included the basic Cygwin/X and included those files, right? My cygcheck output is pasted below. Thanks for your time.

using cygnome with x11
Simple Question: How do I get a gnome-session to always start when I startx. I have set my path to include the x11/bin. I have made an ~/.xinitrc file containing exec gnome-session line. When I launch a cygwin terminal, and type: startx all I get is the default window manager [I think]. Strangely, I was able to launch a gnome session in this way, but only once! After I quit X11 i was never able to see a gnome session start with x11. Help would be appreciated. If you need more specs, please specify. Cheers, Dave

Help! TOO MANYlocalhost:loopback connections, slow performance.
Hi, I am using Xwin to access my linux machine KDE over a SSH tunnel. I ran into a interesting problem. Xwin seems to open HUGE amounts of localhost:loopback on many consecutive ports (seem liek the whole tempt port range and more) and I mean like hundreds of these loopback connections. They actually look very strange. there are hundreds of these connections doing this localhost:4818 connecting to localhost:4819 localhost:4819 connecting to localhost:4820 localhost:4820 connecting to localhost:4821 and so on. basically its like they are playing call the next port game. So my firewall (Agnitium Outpost Pro 2.1.xxx starts to lag my Windows comp. Its configured to allow xwin thru, in fact everything necessary is in the trusted zone, so it connects and works (lagging though). When I stop the firewall everything is ok. After perusing the cygwin/x mailing lists, I could not find much to help me, short of comments, to remove the firewall. Since it is not an option (no way should anyone be running windows with out a firewall even if they are behind a router already like I am). Why in the world dow xwin need to open so MANY loopback connections in such a way. Is there anyway to fix this?

Re: installing a window manager - help please - answers to helpersquestions
I'm a little confused by the copying of xterms and the reflection of commands between xterms. what happens when you try xterm in a x-term window? It generates another two xterms, i.e. one embedded in the background and one completely separate window; again, they mirror each other, even to the point that if I drag the separate one around, the embedded one moves within the background.
