Oh, that did the trick! :-)
I retried some times and finally I succeeded.
I don't know why the 1st attempt failure, but everything's in place now.

THANKS Dave!!! :-)

Try the following commands from a Cygwin bash shell:

     XWin -multiwindow &
     export DISPLAY=:0.0

Then start your application as before.

Question for running KDE apps.

[Γιώργος Κωστόπουλος]

Hi! :-)

Is it possible to run a KDE app in cygwin?
I tried some of them, but I keep receiving the error message:
"QXcbConnection: Could not connect to display. Aborted (core dumped)".

Seems like it's a common problem and googling for that reveals related
and not informations.
I tried many of the proposed solutions (eg. trying "startxwin"), but no luck.

Does someone know anything related?
TIA! :-)
G.

PS. I was running them on Red Hat's implementation of Cygwin, but
seems like it is not any more available.
I'm on Win 10 x64.
