X11R7.5 doesn't like the (default) locale C.UTF-8. If I start the server 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.
Thanks for the bug report.
I'm afraid I'm not immediately able to reproduce this, though, using the command you give.
You might have LC_ALL or LC_CTYPE set, which would override LANG. Or perhaps startxwin.bat overrides things somewhere along the way?
To avoid all that, you could try invoking Xwin directly with LC_ALL set, which is top dog among locale variables.
LC_ALL=C.UTF-8 xwin -multiwindow&
It fails with en.UTF-8 too (which also is a legal Cygwin locale), but it works with en_US.UTF-8.
Nope, I don't have LC_ALL or LC_CTYPE set
This is pretty curious, since all XSupportsLocale() should be doing effectively is checking if setlocale (LC_ALL, NULL) returns a name it understands.
Perhaps you can try the attached small test program.
$ LANG=C.UTF-8 ./Xlocale.exe Setting locale from LANG succeeded Locale is C.UTF-8 XSupportsLocale returned false
$ LANG=en_US.UTF-8 ./Xlocale.exe Setting locale from LANG succeeded Locale is en_US.UTF-8 XSupportsLocale returned true
$ ./Xlocale.exe Setting locale from LANG succeeded Locale is C XSupportsLocale returned true
