If you use startxwin.sh, just edit it and put the xset command right after the XWin invocation (though beware that the file will get overwritten every time you update X-startup-scripts). If you use "startx", you should be able to put it in your ~/.xinitrc or ~/.xserverrc...

Mutex init failure trying to run Scribus
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 Hi, I just installed Scribus from ftp://sunsite.dk/projects/cygwinports, no problem with the install, but when I tried to run it I got the: "Mutex init failure: Invalid argument" after the splash screen displays for a while and the application really starts. Anyone seen this? Any solutions?

Anyone seen this? Any solutions? Yes, I have as well. It seems to happen with all C++ Qt or KDE apps; PyQt apps (e.g. convertall, also available through Cygwin Ports) don't generate this message. Despite the message, the programs seem to run correctly anyways. Now that I know that this is not just a local issue, I'll try researching this further; this would appear to have something to do with the Qt threading code. Thanks for your report.

Anyway I'm recompiling Scribus from sources, let's see if the invalid argument is catched on the source, probably not but I want to rule out that the version of Cygwin I'm using (one of the snapshots) didn't change something that affected this.

GV and ghostscript: problems?
With ghostscript-8.15-2 there is a stange behaviour of 'gv' in displaying pdf files. If one uses: $ gv foo.pdf & that works fine. But using: $ gv & and then opening 'foo.pdf' with 'Open' menu item, there is an "Unrecoverable error " of GPL Ghostscript 8.15 This 'gv' behaviour was absent with the 7. ... versions of ghostscript.

Nothing changed after building from sources. I'll see if I can debug this. - -- René Berber -BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE- Version: GnuPG v1.4.2 (Cygwin) Comment: Using GnuPG with Thunderbird - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iEYEARECAAYFAkOYx7MACgkQL3NNweKTRgx3zACdH5A79DkQSAhr6N6qg8NFfdZN 2IMAn1g6HFbkuEBe8/mHWTAQV0gj0VOi =WxM3 -END PGP SIGNATURE- -- 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/

FWIW, I built scribus with stock Cygwin 1.5.18-1. I'm almost certain this has to do with Qt itself, not with any individual program. If you're interested in helping look into this, I'd say to grab the qt3-3.3.4-2-src package and try to find the problem there. Wrt what I said earlier about all C++ Qt programs being affected, that appears to be not 100% true: xxdiff (yes, also available at Cygwin Ports) does not show this message; perhaps it doesn't use Qt threads. In any case, I can't do it this minute, but I hope that early next week I can look into this further.
