Subject: Emacs problem with Cygwin 1.5.17-1

With Cygwin 1.5.17-1, after starting XWin (startxwin.bat) and Emacs, the
Emacs window does not show itself, i.e.


$ emacs&
[1] 1776

but the emacs window does not appear! The ps command shows:

$ ps
      PID    PPID    PGID     WINPID  TTY  UID    STIME COMMAND
     1380       1    1380       1380  con  500 20:45:19
/usr/X11R6/bin/XWin
     1436       1    1436       1436  con  500 20:45:23 /usr/bin/xterm
     1424    1436    1424       1516    0  500 20:45:26 /usr/bin/bash
      824    1424     824       1452    0  500 20:52:15 /usr/bin/ssh
     1228       1    1228       1228  con  500 21:01:17 /usr/bin/xterm
     1292    1228    1292       1704    1  500 21:01:17 /usr/bin/bash
     1776    1292    1776       1688    1  500 21:01:28 /usr/bin/emacs
     1624    1292    1624       1676    1  500 21:03:07 /usr/bin/ps

i.e. emacs seems to be loaded.

These things happen as Administrator and NOT-Administrator user.

Reinstalling Cygwin 1.5.16-1 all works normally.



In announcing Coreutils 5.3.0-6, E.B. wrote:

"This package REQUIRES cygwin 1.5.17 or newer snapshots"

and in setup.ini is disappeared the previous version (5.3.0-5).

For the moment the hybrid system, 1.5.16-1 and 5.3.0-6, seems to work.

Have you hints?

Thank you,

angelo.
