I usually use the command "startx" or "startx.sh" to start wmaker. I have your problem when I update cygwin and the overwrite my startx file.
For the XWin line in the startx file, I need to take out the -multiwindow arg.
#XWin -multiwindow -clipboard -silent-dup-error &
XWin -nodecoration -clipboard -silent-dup-error& <- I use this
Hope this helps.

All -
I just (Friday-20050423) downloaded and installed a set of Cygwin files into a freshly laundered Win2k PC. Installation went fine, but when I use 'xinit' to start 'wmaker' from my '.xinitrc' I see:
1) normal-looking startup of X11, except for some missing fonts, 2) normal-looking screen with Xterm awaiting window manager to start, then 3) log reports detection of a second window manager running and the session is closed.
If my '.xinitrc' instead starts 'mwm' or 'fvwm2', there is no such problem.
Before calling 'xinit', neither 'ps -a' nor the Win2k task manager show any X-related task running. Starting an X11 app from the Win2k start panel fails due to absent server (as I would expect). If I start 'wmaker' from the cygwin shell, it fails on a missing display (as I would expect).
Earlier that week I installed a cygwin fileset that did not show this behavior.
Any diagnoses?
TIA.
