You probably recently upgraded your installation, without reading > the release notes: > http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin-xfree-announce/2008-11/msg0.html OK, I've now removed the /usr/lib/X11 link as per the notes and then ran setup to reinstall everything that I had installed in the x11 section of setup, plus rxvt. It re-created a /usr/lib/X11 directory containing just Xcms.txt and nothing else, so rxvt was still missing its resources. I then tried uninstalling and re-installing rxvt which changed nothing. There are a dozen files still in /usr/X11R6/lib/X11 which /usr/lib/X11 used to link to, including the missing app-defaults. I can (will) copy that over but should I be doing that? Should I copy all/some of the other files over too? There's nothing in the release notes about needing to do all this.

RE: Warning: No xauth data
Thanks for the hints on this, I've managed to get it working without the warning message. Here's what I did: bash$ xauth xauth> add :0 . hexnumber # I used FACEFEEDFACEFEED xauth> add localhost:0 . hexnumber xauth> exit my .ssh/config has: ForwardX11Trusted yes XAuthLocation /usr/bin/xauth Next, I have a little macro in .bashrc: startapp() { (ssh -Xn $* &) ; } declare -fx startapp Then, to start a remote application (xterm in this case) I do: bash$ startapp othernode xterm I haven't done exhaustive testing, but seems to do the trick. By the way, the new Cygwin/X bits are GREAT! Thank you for the great update!!!
