The problem I have is that X applications do not seem to run. If I try to run gedit or emacs, for example, the applications seem to just return 0 immediately: ---------------------------- me AT mycomputer ~ $ gedit & [1] 10244 me AT mycomputer ~ $ emacs & [2] 10976 [1] Done gedit ---------------------------- Similarly, if I try to start either of these applications from the X Applications Menu on the taskbar, they don't launch. The Cygwin log file shows the following, indicating that the application started, and then exited straight away: ---------------------------- (xwin-xdg-menu:13896): GVFS-WARNING **: Error creating proxy: Error calling StartServiceByName for org.gtk.vfs.Daemon: Timeout was reached (g-io-error-quark, 24) executing 'xterm -title '/home/me/.xsession-errors' -e less +F /home/me/.xsession-errors', pid 8080 (pid 8080 stderr) xterm: cannot load font "-Misc-Fixed-bold-R-*-*-13-120-75-75-C-120-ISO10646-1" executing 'gapplication launch org.gnome.gedit', pid 9288 pid 9288 exited with status 0 ---------------------------- Any ideas? It's driving me nuts! I've tried a fresh install of Cygwin, with the same results.
