Problem with starting X up - again!

[Michał Baryliński <Misza dot B at wp dot pl>]

Hi!

I have recently installed Cygwin/X and have encountered
a problem with starting up the X server. I have browsed
through this mailing list and didn't find a solution,
although many people seem to share this problem.

When I start X through startxwin.sh it displays
some text and hangs up. I tried different command-line
option combinations. Particularly, with -screen 0 640 480
I get a 640x480 unresponsive window and also uresponsive
tray icon (but no fatal errors in bash window).
No matter which window manager I use.

Finally I found a post where someone say that killing
some process unlocks everything. I did some testing here
and I finally got it:
After running startxwin.sh I have to manually (e.g. through
Task Manager) kill the "xkbcomp.exe" process and everything
proceeds as expected.

This is my startxwin.sh (without comments):

So can anyone now think of what is the problem and solve it
once and for all? ;-)

Thanks in advance,
