Sorry I forgot to mention about the other location
that gets registered...for some weird reason you find
the second key group somewhere else...but this time
its where X-font path resides...maybe this was made
for speed not sure...but your path should be correct
here as well...(nob the other was in My
Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Cygnus Solutions)
..also make sure at least something is being written
to your /tmp or ~appmake/tmp folders ...eg...'mc'
midnight commander makes tmp files in your ~/?? folder
and running X makes tmpfiles under /tmp...so there
should be at least some activties going on or you know
that your root cygwin folder has no write access under
windows...also for change of keys...try to make sure
you keep the same \ / syntax...as part of the
convention...i'm not a developer and i don't
understand why the developers decided to make things
go by the registry for mount points and not simply an
ini file deposited in the main root of cygwin...
