X11R7.5 doesn't like the (default) locale C.UTF-8. If I start the server with 'LANG=C.UTF-8 /usr/bin/startxwin.bat', the server exits immediately, and the log has complaints about the locale. If I instead use 'LANG=en_US.UTF-8', there's no problem. I've attached both logs and cygcheck output.
Thanks for the bug report.
I'm afraid I'm not immediately able to reproduce this, though, using the command you give.
You might have LC_ALL or LC_CTYPE set, which would override LANG. Or perhaps startxwin.bat overrides things somewhere along the way?
To avoid all that, you could try invoking Xwin directly with LC_ALL set, which is top dog among locale variables.
LC_ALL=C.UTF-8 xwin -multiwindow&
It fails with en.UTF-8 too (which also is a legal Cygwin locale), but it works with en_US.UTF-8.
The significant change is probably that libX11 is no longer built with X_LOCALE (so that libX11 uses the native locale support rather than it's own). Exactly why this would cause a problem, I don't know.
Hmm, that sounds like it should have improved matters if anything.
