Recently I have posted this:

 http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2006-03/msg00385.html
 http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2006-03/msg00397.html
 http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2006-03/msg00398.html

without meaning answers.

Now with the snap. 20060315 the problems are the same.

I want to stress that the problem is not the dos window, but the fact that
with the snapshots 20060314 and 20060315 the procedure :

  . PC on
  . click on Cygwin.bat (that which came with Cygwin)
  
  $ startxwin.bat &

DOES NOT works any more, i.e. 'ps' shows that only XWin.exe is running and
xterm.exe does not start (see previous posts).

I want to stress that 'startxwin.bat' is the file that is installed with
X-statup-script package.

I want to stress that in Cygwin there are other packages that start the X
server using 'startxwin.bat': singular-icons e.g.


At this point I suspect that when 1.5.20 will be released the
X-startup-script package will be (partially) incompatible, so I ask:

  with the recent snapshots How can one use startxwin.bat to launch XWin?

(It would be desirable to have a link on the desktop to start XWin when
one installs xorg package so as the installation of Cygwin base installs
the link to Cygwin.bat).

The last useful snapshots is 20060313.


Cheers,

   Angelo.
