X11R7.5 doesn't like the (default) locale C.UTF-8. If I start the server
technically speaking, there's "no such locale" as C.UTF-8,
so I'd not expect portable code to accept it ("C" and "UTF-8" are
mutually exclusive).
with 'LANG=C.UTF-8 /usr/bin/startxwin.bat', the server exits immediately, and
the log has complaints about the locale. If I instead use
'LANG=en_US.UTF-8', there's no problem. I've attached both logs and cygcheck
output.
