I am unable to start an xterm from the Cygwin/X icon in the system tray (right-click, select xterm). Both setups have the same line in .XWinrc: "xterm" EXEC "xterm" As a work-around, I created a shortcut on my desktop to start an xterm: D:\Cygwin\bin\run.exe /usr/bin/xterm -display localhost:0 That works perfectly,
I tried this explicitly:
"xterm" EXEC "xterm -display localhost:0"
That didn't make a difference.
One other piece of data: I modifed ~/.XWinrc and then clicked "Reload .xwinrc" from the menu in the system tray. This KILLED the X server!
