Hello everyone,
I have been trying to use WindowMaker with Cygwin, but I'm receiving
some errors. When starting WindowMaker from Windows directly, it will
open for a second, shutting down immediately after that.
If I run startx, the window opens, but I can't click on anything. I
get this output when running startx. There is some kind of error near
the bottom, but I have the .Xresources file in my home directory, so
I'm not sure what's wrong. Any help would be much appreciated!
$ startx

It seems that /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc-common and /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc are unhappy
with the spaces in your home directory.
Sorry, don't use X or WindowMaker, so can't help further.

I'm guessing this is failing because the pathname of your home directory
has spaces in it.

Fix the above two lines 20 in /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc{,-common}
by adding double quotes around the string containing $HOME, which
might be like the lines below, from the only system script I could
find containing $HOME, where the whole file name is double quoted,
including the embedded $HOME:
$ fgrep '$HOME' /etc/profile.d/bash_completion.sh
[ -r "${XDG_CONFIG_HOME:-$HOME/.config}/bash_completion" ] && \
. "${XDG_CONFIG_HOME:-$HOME/.config}/bash_completion"
If your scripts are similar, such as:
[ -r $HOME/.Xresources ] && xrdb $HOME/.Xresources
then you need to double quote both the test and use as in:
[ -r "$HOME/.Xresources" ] && xrdb "$HOME/.Xresources"
and do the same kind of change in both files.
Many admins, packages, and distros have already made these kinds of
fixes, as more people are using Windows or Mac based home directories
which may have "friendlier" names, served up by Samba, CIFS, or NFS.

I actually went ahead and created a new user on my computer, renaming
it to something with no spaces. However, when I run it, I am
encountering something a little different. The window opens, then
quickly closes before anything can be done.

How would you suggest changing the pathname?
