Still problems starting X


On X11R6.99, I start X with a link on desktop, 'XWin Server', whose
target is:

C:\cygwin\bin\run.exe bash -l start_XWin.sh

and in /usr/local/bin, start_XWin.sh is

----------------------------
#! /bin/bash
export DISPLAY=127.0.0.1:0.0

export PATH=/usr/bin:"$PATH"

# Cleanup from last run.
rm -rf /tmp/.X11-unix

# We have added +bs, i.e. BackingStore
XWin -multiwindow -clipboard -silent-dup-error +bs &

# Return from sh.
exit
----------------------------

It is just /usr/bin/startxwin.sh stripped from superfluous comments,
from the start of xterm and with +bs for XWin.

It starts only the X server.

With X11R6.99 this works just fine, but with the new X11R7.4 (also -3)
there are two annoying dos windows (which appear for less than an
instant), in the second of which (after many tries) I have seen that
there is this written:

----
The XKEYBOARD keymap compiler (xkbcomp) reports:
Warning: Type "ONE_LEVEL" has 1 levels, but <RALT> has 2 symbols Ignoring extra symbols
Errors from xkbcomp are not fatal to the X server
----

If, from the link target I remove 'run', i.e. if I start with:

C:\cygwin\bin\bash.exe -l start_XWin.sh

the same happens, as if, in the first case, 'run' [1] does not work correctly.


Cheers, Angelo.
