The following packages have been updated in the Cygwin distribution:
*** xorg-server-1.11.2-1
*** xorg-server-dmx-1.11.2-1
These packages contain XWin and the other X.Org X11 servers.
In addition to upstream fixes [1], this contains the following cygwin-specific
changes since 1.11.1-1:
* Use spawn() rather than pipe() & fork() to invoke xkbcomp. This should
improve X server startup reliability, avoiding being unable to start when
cygwin's fork() emulation is unable to work successfully. (This workaround was
added in 1.10.2-1, but in a form which didn't work :( )
