Yes, I made the package yesterday, and I didn't write an announcement
yet. I could just recreate your "crash", it said "cygXm-2.dll" is
missing. After installing lesstif it works.

I'm sorry for that, I'll report to cygwin-apps now and add the
dependency to the setup.hint file. Besides this small problem
xmgrace seems to work. For me.

Can you describe what "crash" you are seeing? It doesn't sound like
an alert box saying a dll is missing.
