I suspect you might have the problem referred to in 
http://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=9780


If you'd mentioned the OS of the remote system you are running the xterm 
client on, I'd be more sure.

plus, if I do have some of those set, shouldn't all xterm fail??

Hi, I ran cygwin X at work and everything works fine except one thing:
we have some special command that launches an xterm to a production
window via ssh/X11 tunneling. This window will disappear on me when I
attempt to type into it.

All my regular xterm works perfectly fine, and I don't see any logs or
anything on the X server side. This used to work with my previous installation
of cygwin X. Does anybody have an idea what's going on here? or even how
do I diagnose this problem, since the window will disappear no matter what I
type.


Does the xterm not produce any error output in the ssh session when it dies?

This issue hasn't really been progressed, because it's hard to duplicate 
without access to a remote system which shows this problem.  A wireshark 
capture of the packets exchanged with the remote system leading up to the 
failure might be useful.

FAQ 3.2.

Come on, where's the challenge in that?

Probably not.

You are misreading the entry.  Just follow its first line:

[SNIP]
Launch the X server via the shortcut under Cygwin-X on the start menu. 
[/SNIP]

Does that work?


HTH,

Mike
