Hi Cgf,
on latest shapshots, including 20110604, on Windows XP

running the X system through menu icon:

E:\cygwin2\bin\run.exe /usr/bin/bash.exe -l -c /usr/bin/startxwin.exe

fails. The X server does not arise.

No problem if I run "startxwin" from bash inside mintty.

So I guess it is a race problem.

Regards
Marco
