it aborts:

If I remove "rm -rf /tmp/{.X*,dbus*,orbit*,*}; ", i.e. I use:

$ /usr/bin/run.exe --run-debug=2 --run-nogui bash -l -c 'XWin -nowgl 
-multiwindow -clipboard -silent-dup-error 2>/dev/null &'


it aborts in the same way but open a big black window named 
Cygwin/X:0.0. When I close it also the X server quits...


I have attached the cygcheck -svr output.
