There's another option. In startxwin.bat, you could use run2.exe instead
of run.  Instead of:

%RUN% bash -l -c "XWin -multiwindow -clipboard -silent-dup-error"

Use

%RUNTWO% /usr/bin/XWin.xml

where XWin.xml is something like the following (untested):

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="us-ascii"?>
<Run2Config
  xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
  xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="run2.xsd">
  <SelfOptions />
  <Global>
    <Environment>
      <!-- either of these, or both, and modified as desired -->
      <Set var="LANG"  value="C.ASCII"/>
      <Append var="CYGWIN"  value=" tty"/>
    </Environment>
    <Target filename="/usr/bin/bash.exe" startin="~">

</Run2Config>

You can also just use the DOS "set" command right in startxwin.bat.  In 
the case of CYGWIN, the syntax would be

   SET CYGWIN=%CYGWIN% tty

After some meditation, I think that the server regeneration may be being 
caused by a race condition introduced by the use of checkX in the 
startxwin.bat script:  If checkX connects to and then disconnects from the 
Xserver before the internal client threads get a chance to connect, the 
Xserver will restart when checkX disconnects, causing these duplicate threads.

Fortunately, this should have a simple workaround of removing the checkX line 
from startxwin.bat (or replacing it with a delay if you care about getting an 
xterm started by it)

The correct fix for this behaviour is not immediately obvious, and I don't 
really have time to work on it at the moment, so I don't have a patch for this.

Does this mean it sometimes works and sometimes doesn't?
Or does it mean it fails in different ways each time you try?

Since I have touched 'check for another window manager' code recently, I was 
kind of expecting to see that I'd managed to break it in some way, but..

I'm not quite sure what to make of that log file. This is very strange.

If you look for "(II) xorg.conf is not supported", you'll see that it looks 
like that server starts again about half-way through.

I did wonder if you were managing to somehow start two copies of XWin 
near-simultaneously, but I don't think that would produce a logfile like that 
(since it's not opened in append mode, you probably get the logfile from the 
last process to close it or something like that)

An alternative explanation is that there is a really inconveniently timed 
server regeneration happening: just after the internal client threads have 
been created, but before they can connect, so they are still hanging around to 
be accepted by the next server generation.

If we did have twice as many threads as we are supposed to, that would explain 
the final failure due to another WM running (as there's another WM thread, 
note that there are two 'winMultiWindowXMsgProc - Hello' lines)

No idea why the server is regenerating though, needs more meditation :-)

iirc, that's from the Xaw initialization, which asks X11 (library),
and _that_ falls into a hole where someone decided to load a fontset.

This is typical of the current issue we have where 'run xterm' blocks when 
xterm tries to output 'Warning: Missing charsets in String to FontSet conversion'

Any one of:
- installing the CJK fonts
- having 'tty' in the CYGWIN environment variable
- having the LANG environment set to a non-UTF-8 locale
should work around this problem

Note that the environment variable will have to be set via the system applet 
in the Windows control panel, as only that controls the environment for the 
startxwin.bat started from the start menu...

I hope these are explained by

These are expected when these font directories are empty, which is quite 
normal if you haven't installed all possible fonts

> Warning: Missing charsets in String to FontSet conversion

This is xterm warning that the fontset has no fonts for CJK locales (as no CJK 
fonts are installed)

	They're not strict dependencies - a UTF-8 based locale has more requirements than other locales due to its ability to represent so many scripts.  Also, the server won't fail for lack of those fonts, rather it will exhibit occasional unnecessary lags.

	That said, I favor setting the packages as dependencies, as they're ever more likely to see a bit of use.


	$.02 (and not a red cent more),

Shouldn't these packages be set as dependents for xorg-server?

I tried adding the missing fonts. I tried SET LANG=C
Starting the X server is still unpredictable.  Now my log file 
(attached) shows:

2009-11-20 08:01:58 winClipboardProc - Could not open display, try: 1, 
sleeping: 4
2009-11-20 08:01:58 XFree86-Bigfont extension local-client optimization 
disabled due to lack of shared memory support in the kernel
2009-11-20 08:01:58 winInitMultiWindowWM - Could not open display, try: 
1, sleeping: 5

It also claims another window manage is running (and therefore shuts 
down), which is untrue (there is no other Xwin process running).

Try installing the font-isas-misc, font-jis-misc, and font-daewoo-misc 
packages.  See

Re: Problem with new xinit - console window doesn't open (but bash starts)

[Eliot Moss]

The missing charsets message is symptomatic of not
having the patches needed to a couple of X config
files concerning UTF-8. If you apply the path, which
I think is in the latest Xorg files, then that
problem should be fixed. (Assuming you set LANG.
You can also try LANG=C as a temporary workaround.)

More info:

If I run startxwin.bat from a CMD.exe command line, the bash console 
xterm opens just fine.  I only have problems starting it from the shortcut.

I do see some interesting things in the log file, however:

MIT-SHM extension disabled due to lack of kernel support
XFree86-Bigfont extension local-client optimization disabled due to lack 
of shared memory support in the kernel

None of the compatibility settings are checked in the Windows shortcut.

I've attached the Xwin.0.log file

Problem with new xinit - console window doesn't open (but bash starts)

[Jim Reisert AD1C]

I'm running the latest of everything Cygwin 1.7 (see below).

When I start the Xwin server from the Windows shortcut:

   D:\Cygwin\bin\run.exe /usr/bin/startxwin.bat

I see a bash.exe process running, but no X window comes up, as per:

REM Make sure XWin is ready to accept connections before proceeding
%RUN% checkX -wait -d %DISPLAY% -t 12

REM Startup an xterm, using bash as the shell.
%RUN% xterm -e /usr/bin/bash -l

Anyone else notice this?

The problem is the same on my laptop at work running WinXP, as well as 
my home system running Windows 7
