You might have LC_ALL or LC_CTYPE set, which would override LANG. Or perhaps startxwin.bat overrides things somewhere along the way? To avoid all that, you could try invoking Xwin directly with LC_ALL set, which is top dog among locale variables. LC_ALL=C.UTF-8 xwin -multiwindow& It fails with en.UTF-8 too (which also is a legal Cygwin locale), but it works with en_US.UTF-8. > The significant change is probably that libX11 is no longer built with > X_LOCALE (so that libX11 uses the native locale support rather than it's > own). > Exactly why this would cause a problem, I don't know. Hmm, that sounds like it should have improved matters if anything.
