Harold,
Actually, I think I have to correct myself - I now think it is
xwinclip that hangs up things. I found a way to reproduce the problem.
1) Add the line
start xwinclip
after the start twm line in startxwin.bat.
2) start cygwin/xfree with the new startxwin.bat
3) Go down and click on the windows meny bar and issue the command
WindowsKey-E (to bring up windows Explorer). (WindowsKey is the key with
a MSWindow on it).
4) After this I can't bring any windows programs up (at least for a
while). Try to click the Start button, for example. The windows side
of the machine become very sluggish.
Lars.
