The -kb command helped with one of my machines that was having intermittent difficulties in launching. On another machine, however, I always have to execute the following script twice before I get any Xwin windows: --CUT-- All of the standard startXWin.bat environment setup stuff... --CUT--

RE: Multiple XWin.exe programs loading and no xterm

This happens to me all the time - I usually have to launch the X stuff 2 or 3 times before it actually works. I have to manually kill off all xterm.exe, bash.exe, and other cygwin programs in between the launches. I keep meaning to look into it more, but since I start it less than once a

RE: xwin hangs at startup - no xterm display

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 It hasn't annoyed me enough to look into it further yet - plus my version is outdated - I just assumed it would be fixed in a future version since it was such blatant

start vs run

At the end of my startxwin.bat script, here is how I launch my windows manger, and then connect up to a Fedora Core 2 machine: start XWin -screen 0 1280 960 -clipboard -silent-dup-error run xterm -geometry 80x24+0+0 -sb -leftbar -e ssh -Y mir04 /bin/bash --login -c gnome-session This works

- export DISPLAY=:0.0 # otherwise ssh won't start X forwarding You don't have to do this. The easiest way to set this up for a machine you connect to all the time is to edit the end of your cygwin/usr/X11R6/bin/startxwin.bat file to look like this: scroll down past all of the comments
