Dave:

:   Hmmm, one of those is a login shell, and the other is not.  That may well
: make the difference.  If you add the "-ls" option to the xterm invocation,
: does it then behave the same as when you start via cygwin.bat?

This makes no difference.  I still get the reported errors.

:   It isn't anything to do with X; it's to do with the way the environment is
: configured.  And probably the underlying problem with your service (as
: illustrated by the two separate ways of invoking shells above) is that the
: environment isn't set right.
: 
:   Take a look at the difference in your cygcheck output between the sshd
: config and the cygserver config; I think you need to specify CYGWIN=server in
: the environment for that particular service, not in your per-user windows
: environment.
: 
:   So try re-running the cygrunsrv command you used to set up cygserver, and
: this time add the option "-e CYGWIN=server".  See this section of the docs for
: an example:
: 
: http://cygwin.com/cygwin-ug-net/using-cygserver.html#use-cygserver

In this doc, I have followed the first prescription, setting CYGWIN
to server in my Windows environment.  (If so I shouldn't even need
to add `set CYGWIN=server` in cygwin.bat.  Isn't this correct?).
Therefore, I should not have to use `cygrunsrv -I foo -p /usr/sbin/foo
-e "CYGWIN=server"` Isn't this correct?  In any case I am not sure what
"service" to implement here to replace "foo"?

I did try adding `set CYGWIN=server` in my startupx.sh, but I still get the
same errors.

Thanks.

Lester
