Is there any news regarding the getting "listen tcp" issue with xauth
resolved. The workaround mentioned works but isn't ideal in the
environment I have.
No progress, but a couple more suggestions:
cygwin now has an X11 PuTTY client package. I haven't tested that, but
I guess that should be able to find the X display and authority file
without any special configuration.
Alternatively, you could patch xinit to use a deterministic name for the
authority file e.g. ~/.serverauth.hostname.display rather than
~/.serverauth.pid.
(If you write such a patch, please submit it, as that would probably be
acceptable in our package and maybe upstream. Using just the pid seems
wrong, as there potentially could be collisions in a shared home directory)
