I have the same problem intermittently (Win 2K, no firewalls except for
NAT router) - X seems to start up successfully at about every second
attempt; else it also hangs on the line:
winMultiWindowXMsgProc - Calling pthread_mutex_lock ()
which sounds like a threading issue. I've found that removing the
-silent-dup-error flag helps a bit, but doesn't solve the problem.
