Problem: Cygwin/X, Fedora Core 4, KDE


I'm having a little problem with a recently updated Fedora box. I used
to run a remote KDE session using C/X after setting things up as follows
on the linux machine:

1) open ports 177:udp, 6000:tcp and 6001:tcp in the firewall.
2) in /usr/share/config/kdm/kdmrc set Enable=true in the [Xdmcp] section
3) in /etc/X11/xdm/Xaccess uncomment the line allowing any host to get a
login
4) in /etc/X11/xdm/xdm-config comment out the
DisplayManager.requestPort: 0 line

and then creating a new startx.bat on windows which ran

run XWin -rootless -clipboard -unixkill -silent-dup-error -query 192.168.0.6

After upgrading to Fedora Core 4 and repeating that, I can no longer get
a session going. C/X sits there for a bit, then throws out an error. The
logfile says:

winProcEstablishConnection - Hello

client until fourth call.

Fatal server error:
XDMCP fatal error: Session failed Session 149056002 failed for display
homestar:0: cannot open display

winDeinitMultiWindowWM - Noting shutdown in progress

The only suggestion I can find for that error is at
http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/CygwinXTroubleShooting#head-ba26b330d08d40d459ecd04a35522fd489f6b270
but I have the appropriate host file entries. Meanwhile,
/var/log/messages on the FC4 machine just says:

kdm: homestar:0[3687]: cannot connect to homestar:0, giving up
kdm[2587]: Display homestar:0 cannot be opened

and kdm.log repeats

Xlib: connection to "homestar:0.0" refused by server
Xlib: Invalid MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1 key

If I telnet homestar 6000 whilst C/X is running though, I get a
connection both with and without the PC firewall running (Kerio).

If I run C/X locally, then ssh to the FC box and run startkde,
everything works - though the fonts look a little off.

Any clues as to where I'm going wrong?
