I'm new to the list. Hi!
I have two accounts on my laptop, one for use on my home network and
the other for use at my place of work. I'm going nuts trying to get X
working on my office account, even though it's perfectly fine on my
personal account.

Start here:
Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html
I suspect it's either a mount issue, or a permission one. Seeing the
output of cygcheck -svr will likely provide enough information to
decide which one. Please make sure you *attach* the output, rather
than include it in-line.
Thanks, Igor. I've had a peek at the file (attached) and I'm none the
wiser :-)
The file you attached shows a lot of information about your system
that's
useful for those who know where to look -- saves asking a whole bunch of
thy this -- what do you see? questions.
According to the cygcheck output, your mounts look good (i.e., you've
installed Cygwin for all users). The next step is to look at
/tmp/XWin.log for the exact fatal error you get (you mentioned it was
non-specific, but didn't paste the exact message in). You aren't
trying
to run the two X sessions (for the office account and the home one)
at the
same time, by any chance, are you?

Hi Igor,
I'm using the standard 'startxwin.bat', modified only to change
%CYGWIN_ROOT% from '\cygwin' to where my newest install was placed.
The dialog simply reports the following error:
A fatal error has occurred and Cygwin/X will now exit.
followed by the usual build info and referral to /tmp/XWin.log
I'm attaching the XWin.log from both successful and unsuccessful
attemps to start Cygwin/X, each with an appropriate filename suffix.
To answer your question: I never use XP's 'Switch User' option. I'm
only ever using one instance of Cygwin/X at a time.
I'm not sure if it's relevant, but I had an older version of Cygwin/X
installed prior to the weekend (in the '\cygwin' directory) and this
used to work fine on both accounts. Though, back then, neither account
was password-protected. This time around, I have sshd running
(perfectly) as a XP service and I've obviously decided that password
might be an idea :-) so I set them up using the 'passwd' command
rather than using the Windows Control Panel. On the surface, it seems
to be fine but I don't know whether or not it could be contributing to
my woes, so I think it might be worth a mention.
Best,
Iain.
Resending, this time with attachments. Sorry :-/
