This seems to be a problem with xlaunch, which needs a small update to work correctly with xserver 1.17. I've just uploaded xlaunch-20150224-1, which should fix this. I think this is actually also the cause of your 'crashes' as well. After about 12 minutes, xlaunch is deciding that the X server hasn't started successfully and is killing it. -- Jon TURNEY Volunteer Cygwin/X X Server maintainer -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://x.cygwin.com/docs/ FAQ: http://x.cygwin.com/docs/faq/
