First I tried to start it by running startxwin.bat at bash prompt, which
is:
SET DISPLAY=127.0.0.1:0.0
SET PATH=%PATH%;\usr\X11R6\bin;\cygwin\bin;\cygwin\usr\bin
start XWin :0
start /B xterm -sl 1000 -sb -rightbar -ms red -fg yellow -bg black -e bash
start /B rxvt -fn "Lucidia Console-12"
start /B twm
then from cmd-prompt and outside the xwindow-window with... wait !, from
ouside the xwindow-window (double-clik on it) it works !
ok, but why only this way ?
