Troubles through several cygwin releases with getting the files to have
the right permissions when running startwinx from an initial cygwin64
terminal. Messages follow:
xauth: /home/mukx/.serverauth.7284 not writable, changes will be ignored
xauth: /home/mukx/.Xauthority not writable, changes will be ignored
xauth: timeout in locking authority file /home/mukx/.Xauthority
winInitMultiWindowWM - DISPLAY=:0.0
winMultiWindowXMsgProc - DISPLAY=:0.0
winMultiWindowXMsgProc - Could not open display, try: 1, sleeping: 5
winInitMultiWindowWM - Could not open display, try: 1, sleeping: 5
waiting for X server to begin accepting connections .
..
winMultiWindowXMsgProc - Could not open display, try: 2, sleeping: 5
winInitMultiWindowWM - Could not open display, try: 2, sleeping: 5
and so on until the system gives up.
A directory listing gives:
---------- 2 mukx mukx 0 Jan 18 18:44
.serverauth.7284-c
---------- 2 mukx mukx 0 Jan 18 18:44
.serverauth.7284-l
---------- 1 mukx mukx 54 Jan 18 18:44 .Xauthority
---------- 2 mukx mukx 0 Jan 18 18:44 .Xauthority-c
---------- 2 mukx mukx 0 Jan 18 18:44 .Xauthority-l
On Window 7 these files are properly read,write for the user.
