For a few months now, the only way for me to get Cygwin/X to run
was to start a Cygwin terminal ("C:\cygwin\bin\mintty.exe -i /Cygwin-Terminal.ico
-"),
then run "XWin -multiwindow -clipboard" from there, in the foreground.
That has worked for many weeks now.
I think this is saying that using the start menu shortcuts doesn't work,
but I'm not sure.
Today, I upgraded from 1.17.1-5 to 1.17.2-1 (I think),
and XWin no longer starts as it used to.
No X icon appears, XWin exits almost immediately, with return code zero.
This is the output:
----
Welcome to the XWin X Server
Vendor: The Cygwin/X Project
Release: 1.17.2.0
OS: CYGWIN_NT-6.1-WOW ************ 2.1.0(0.287/5/3) 2015-07-14 21:26 i686
OS: Windows 7 Service Pack 1 [Windows NT 6.1 build 7601] (WoW64)
Package: version 1.17.2-1 built 2015-07-09
XWin was started with the following command line:
Xwin -multiwindow

This is pretty odd.
* I tried leaving out all command-line args but "-multiwindow". Still no
success.
How about leaving out all command-line args completely?
* I used the Cygwin installer to roll back to 1.17.1.5. Still no success.
This tends to argue against that you were using 1.17.1-5 previously, or
that other things e.g. the cygwin DLL were upgraded at the same time.
How can I troubleshoot this further?
Can you provide the logfile written by 'strace -o logfile XWin
-multiwindow' which might shed some light.
