Hey cygwin folks,

     I've been using xlaunch with a windows desktop shortcut for
about a year to start a multi-window instance of xwin on my Win7
computers.  This is cygwin32 on an installation of Win7_x86-64.
The command within the shortcut is:

C:\cygwin\bin\run.exe /usr/bin/Xlaunch.exe -run ~/config/config.xlaunch

and I've defined the ~-directory to be C:\cygwin\home\gbarrick
using the HOME variable in the Win7 environment.  My .xlaunch-file
is just:

<file: C:/cygwin/home/gbarrick/config/config.xlaunch >
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<XLaunch WindowMode="MultiWindow" ClientMode="StartProgram"
  LocalClient="True" Display="0" RemoteProtocol=""
  LocalProgram="xterm -rw -sb -rightbar -geometry 128x44+72+60 -bg goldenrod"
  RemoteProgram="" RemoteHost="" RemoteUser="" XDMCPHost=""
  XDMCPBroadcast="False" XDMCPIndirect="False" Clipboard="True"
  ExtraParams="" Wgl="True" DisableAC="False" XDMCPTerminate="False"
  SSHKeyChain="False" SSHTerminal="True" ExtraSSH=""/>
</file>

(without the "file:"-tags).  This setup successfully gives me
the multi-window instance of xwin, and generates a
/var/log/xwin/Xwin.0.log file as follows.  The only thing that
I've done is to edit the log-file to better fit the width for
an e-mail message.

     OK.  Now for the difficulty.  I recently (today) updated my
cygwin system to include the newest xorg-server, xorg-server-common
and xorg-server-dmx (the 1.17.1-2 versions) as well as
xf86-video-dummy_0.3.7-3 xf86-video-nested-0.1.0-6 and xinit_1.3.4-5,
and have found that xlaunch no longer seems capable of finding my
.xlaunch-file.  It starts X as before, but does not automatically spin
up the xterm that my .xlaunch-file requests.  I wind up having to start
an xterm manually from the xwin "Applications" menu.

     In summary, I have changed _nothing_ except for the new X-stuff,
and have this problem.  The log-file from xwin does not seem radically
different:

</file>

     The other notable problem to report is that my X-server now
crashes after about 5-10 minutes of use.  Since this issue does
not get reported in xwin.0.log or xwin.0.log.old, I do not yet
know how to provide more information.

     Is it possible that the new xinit is the cause of the problem?
I noticed that there's some mention in the cygwin-x mailing list of
the -listen -nolisten flags; but I do not know enough to figure out
whether it's relevant to my issue.  Also, should I really have all
six of these X-packages for a cygwin system that does not use
3D/high-end video?  Note: I installed the font packages font-isas-misc,
font-jis-misc and font-daewoo-misc to try and obviate the xterm warning,
but this does not change the nature of the problem.

     If everything that I reported seems to be OK, and my message
does not strike any bells in people's brains, can you point me towards
a test or further gathering of data that might help to reproduce and
circumvent this minor difficulty?

Thanks,

P.S.  Excuse verbosity of this report; I've tried to give complete
        description.
