Yes, see below, but after reviewing it all I tried it with various items on and off and having the One-VA VPN client (Cisco VPN Client 5) off makes the difference. It is odd, though, that if I run startxwin.sh again, it works the second time, even though the VPN is on. Also, if I quit X Windows (making sure the ssh-agent process is gone) and relaunch everything works fine. It is just the first time that I have trouble if the VPN is on. I believe the VPN hadn't caused me problems with Cygwin's X Windows implementation, but I can't say that with 100% certainty. Anyway, here is the key difference to no VPN versus VPN on: diff working.txt broken.txt 7a8 > xterm Xt error: Can't open display: 127.0.0.1:0.0 ... Long version at the bottom. I note that "9.11.

Because it doesn't need me to enter my key's password? 2) Why does quitting/launching after it has worked once work? Again, is it because of it not needing my input? 3) If I go my preferred 'XWin Server' to launch it, it doesn't work, not even the X icon shows up. If I launch that again, it works.

What I'll try next: Update to the current version of cygwin (hopefully the new termcap gets rid of the 'clear screen after viewing man page or running vi' issue AKA the -X option in less AKA the 'XTerm*titeInhibit: true' issue) and see if that helps, but it appears I just have to be careful to launch the VPN after starting X Windows after launching a cygwin bash shell. -- long (complete) version of startxwin.sh with VPN on: vhaisbtim...@isb-timaresbrian-lt ~ $ startxwin.sh Welcome to the XWin X Server Vendor: The Cygwin/X Project Release: 1.7.1.0 (10701000) Build Date: 2009-11-11 Contact: cygwin-xfree@cygwin.com XWin was started with the following command line: XWin -multiwindow -clipboard -silent-dup-error vhaisbtim...@isb-timaresbrian-lt ~ $ xterm Xt error: Can't open display: 127.0.0.1:0.0 _XSERVTransSocketOpenCOTSServer: Unable to open socket for inet6 _XSERVTransOpen: transport open failed for inet6/isb-timaresbrian-lt:0 _XSERVTransMakeAllCOTSServerListener

The message xterm Xt error: Can't open display: 127.0.0.1:0.0 indicates that xterm didn't find the X server being up. And the reason is ``checkX'' not doing its job, namely waiting until it is really up. If you then start ``startxwin.sh'' again, it complains about an X server already being up, but at least xterm can finally connect.

Re: xterm doesn't open on start (was: checkX problems)
Hi! More information as promised, after getting the new run and checkX (run2) packages announced this morning. $ checkX -v run2 0.3.2 0.3.2 announced? I didn't get any such message, and setup still only offers 0.3.1-1 to me. vhaisbtim...@isb-timaresbrian-lt ~ $ XWin -multiwindow & [1] 5004 vhaisbtim...@isb-timaresbrian-lt ~ $ Welcome to the XWin X Server Vendor: The Cygwin/X Project Release: 1.7.1.0 (10701000) Build Date: 2009-11-11 - UNQUOTE - Yes, the log didn't show anything unusual. (BTW: You got it from /var/log/XWin.log.0, not from stdout, right?) After quitting and destroying any processes from a DOS window, trying startxwin.bat with echo on First off all, nothing appeared (no X icon, no window). [...] At this point I run "Cygwin Bash Shell" and from that window I run startxwin.bat and it works fine, even after closing the Cygwin Bash Shell. Brief, running ``startxwin.bat'' from the Cygwin Bash Shell works while running it from a Windows Prompt (DOS window) does not. Right? Ok, same check over there. In the Windows Prompt: C:\cygwin\bin\run XWin What does happen? Nothing?

I had just focused on cygwin-xfree, but indeed run2 is more general.
