One of the recent improvements to startxwin was that it would now find
an available $DISPLAY itself, just like startx does. Using

And what if it's not zero-length but still blank?
I could have startxwin check if ~/.startxwinrc is executable

Wait, are you talking about a Windows version of PuTTY?
There is a PuTTY for *nix? And it has been ported to Cygwin? I didn't
know. That is, let's say, amazing :-) Yes I mean the native PuTTY for
Windows.
This will be added to the FAQ in due course.

The information is contained within the announcement, but it is a bit
difficult to figure out what to do from just the list of changes. A more
detailed step-by-step guide, preferably

When using PuTTY with X11 forwarding enabled X clients are no longer
able to connect to the X server running locally. When reverting back to
1.3.2-1 the problem goes away.
This may be related to the -nolisten tcp which is now the default[1]. If

Hi,
As requested [1] a separate thread for suggesting improvements to xinit,
in order to solve some of the issues people have been having since the
release of 1.3.4-1 [2].
1. Handling of empty .startxwinrc
Given the new behaviour of startxwin having an empty is never a correct
configuration. It
to acknowledge that user experience matters.
Before you ask, yes, I did post this to the cygwin-xfree mailing list.
However I am not getting anywhere there. So I am interested in the
thoughts of the wider, beyond X11, Cygwin community on backwards
compatibility.
Thanks,

This is most likely due to a major rewrite of the xinit package which
contains all start-up
all the time that everyone, and not in
the least Yaakov, invests into maintaining Cygwin/X. However as a user
and software engineer myself I also very much appreciate systems
continuing to function after minor upgrades.

I could change the way I start X, and I have successfully gotten things
to work by doing so. But that is not my point. My point is that I need

You are probably right, but again, that is not the issue. The point I am
