There is no problem, however, with running Cygwin/X or a similar Win32 X server, and then running X clients in UoW. I was able to run two copies of xeyes simultaneously, one from Cygwin and one from UoW, once I patched startx to listen on localhost and not just via Unix sockets, which do not interoperate between Cygwin and UoW. > - Windows and WSL have separate users.

That would entail reimplementing fork() for Win32. -- John Cowan http://www.ccil.org/~cowan co...@ccil.org The internet is a web of tiny tyrannies giving an illusion of anarchy. --David Rush -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
