RE: xwin hangs at startup - no xterm display

[Armbrust, Daniel C.]

I get this quite often.. It usually takes me 3-4 cycles of launching and 
killing processes before I can get a working xterm up.

It hasn't annoyed me enough to look into it further yet - plus my version is 
outdated - I just assumed it would be fixed in a future version since it was 
such blatant error - but maybe its not as widespread as I assumed.

The FAQ states this is not an error at all (although it is labeled so). More
important is the full logfile.

/tmp/XWin.log may help. 

Maybe you have ZoneAlarm installed?
