Could you please use the same ldesc text as the CLI vim version and
just add the last sentence?

But what's worse is this:

  $ uname -a 
  CYGWIN_NT-5.1 cathi 1.5.19(0.149/4/2) [...]
  $ export DISPLAY=calimero:1		<- My Linux X server
  $ gvim
  Vim: Caught deadly signal SYS
  Vim: Finished.
  $ 

I have no chance to connect to my X server running on my Linux box,
which is a xorg-x11-Xvnc-6.8.1.  From the strace output I can only see
that kill(2) is called, but there's no hint about the reason.  Using vim
-V shows:

  [...lots of "Searching for foo.{xpm,bmp}"...]
  Searching for "bitmaps/FindHelp.bmp" in "/home/corinna/.vim,/usr/share/vim/vimfiles,/usr/share/vim/vim64,/usr/share/vim/vimfiles/after,/home/corinna/.vim/after"

  not found in 'runtimepath': "bitmaps/FindHelp.bmp"Vim: Caught deadly signal SYS

  Writing viminfo file "/home/corinna/.viminfo"Vim: Finished.

However, I tried with a local Xming server, which worked fine.

Needless to say that I don't have any problem to run other Cygwin X apps
as xterm or gs.  Nor do I have a problem with the Linux gvim (using the
gnome GUI).
