Re: XWin.exe doesn't start

[Lionel Ains <lains at caramail dot com>]

Hi,

As you mentionned in your reply, set -x doesn't show whether
children processes are started as background tasks or not. 
In the script I run, XWin.exe and twm are both started as
background tasks. I actually get the same result when I do
it on the command-line.

What is really strange is that this does not happen all the
times. Around 10% of the times I tried to start XWin, I
could get it to work. When I manage to have it working once,
it will always work the next times (until I reboot). 
Moreover, once it fails, if I try later on, I can sometimes
get it to start.
I've tried using Exceed on another machine and this works
fine, but cannot Exceed it on my PC, so I need XWin.

It started successfully this morning, so I can use XWin for
the rest of the day...

When XWin.exe doesn't start properly, it just stays on the
list of tasks (although it doesn't seem to use any CPU
time), and I can't kill it using CygWin's kill -9, I have to
End task using WinNT task mamanger.

Thanks,

Lionel
