All of this is really strange. The only change/installation I made to
my system yesterday was to install a logitech webcam.
Remove it again. I think you'll find that solves the problems you were
seeing. Logitech drivers are known to cause problems. Cygwin is one of
its lucky affected applications. Search the email list archives for
"dodgy apps" to find a list of software with buggy versions which can cause
problems like this.
You're right. I've just uninstalled the logitech webcam and
x-applications now work!!
PS: wierd -- the logitech webcam uninstaller mandated that I terminated
ALL applications before the deinstallation could proceed.
