Cygwin/X - Remote App Won't Start

[Wayne Anderson <wanderson at cbmr dot com>]

Hello mailing list.  I'm new to Cygwin/X, and I'm trying to use it to run
Micros 8700 apps (on a SCO OpenServer 5 machine) from my Win2K PC.

I'm running an out-of-the box default install of Cygwin/X, except for adding
the -ac switch to the startxdmcp.bat file (thanks to Matt Flemming's web
site).  I can successfully run startxdmcp.bat and log in to the OpenServer
desktop.  All the built-in OpenServer apps seem to work, and all the Micros
8700 apps work except one (Configurator), which of course is the one I need.

When I attempt to start the app, the outline of the window begins to
display, but before the contents become visible it immediately disappears.
The XWin.log file looks exactly the same whether I run a working app or the
nonworking one, so that doesn't seem to give me any clues.  I tried Xming on
a WinXP PC and got the exact same results.  The app in question does work
just fine when I run it on the UNIX server, so that's not the problem.

I don't know where to go from here to troubleshoot - any suggestions would
be appreciated.  Thanks.
