I'm completely guessing that it's a permission thing. As I mentioned, I *can* launch X applications from a Cygwin mintty shell console after setting DISPLAY, including being able to launch things like Emacs, so whatever is stopping these from displaying, it's only affecting things launched from my .XWinrc. roland -- Roland Roberts, PhD Brooklyn, NY USA https://astrofoto.org
