I finally got a chance to get back to this problem. You'll be glad to know that it has simply gone away. I suspect there really was a problem with our local mirror (or the upstream one), and that updates to the mirror mean the problem no longer occurs. Thanks for the advice - and the latest Cygwin (especially "startx -- -rootless"), is better than ever! luke -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
