Hi
I started a thread on this a few months ago. Some mail-archive searching would help you.
Unless you want to use Fast-User-Switching (FUS), the solution is to exit XWin before you log out ( a good idea in any case), e.g. by double cliking the X icon in your task bar. If you do need FUS, apparently you can try to start different users on different screens (using the -screen option of XWin). I've never tried that though.
The -screen option will not help. Use other display numbers instead:
user startup $DISPLAY file in /tmp ----------------------------------------------------------- Alice XWin :0 $OPTIONS localhost:0.0 /tmp/.X11-unix/X0 Bob XWin :1 $OPTIONS localhost:1.0 /tmp/.X11-unix/X1 Charly XWin :2 $OPTIONS localhost:2.0 /tmp/.X11-unix/X2
If the /tmp/.X11-unix directory still makes problems start XWin with XWin -nolisten unix $OPTIONS This way the :0.0 display will not work but localhost:0.0 and hostname:0.0 will still work and can be used as replacement.
Just for the record: another solution is to make /tmp a user mount, and have it in a different location for each user. That has other connotations, presumably, but I thought I'd mention it here for completeness. Igor
On a windows XP machine with cygwin-x installed, if I can start the X server, then other windows users cannot. re-assigning ownership of /tmp/.X11-unix/ from chesky to jake allows jake to run X when he is logged in, but then I cannot.
The error message implies that /tmp/.X11-unix/ should be owned by root, but there is no such user.
I'll try to subscribe to or monitor the list, but please cc me when replying.
Thanks, --Joel
