Hang when connecting with XFree86

[Harold L Hunt II]

John,

Please ensure me that you have only a single copy of cygwin1.dll on your 
system.  For more information, see:

http://xfree86.cygwin.com/docs/faq/cygwin-xfree-faq.html#q-status-access-violation


You don't need to worry about the version of XFree86 on your Debian box 
being compatible with your Cygwin/XFree86 version... the protocol hasn't 
changed in years so all releases should be perfectly compatible between 
machines.

FYI, I have a Debian, unstable, box as well that I frequently log in to 
from my Cygwin/XFree86 system.  There are occasional troubles that can 
be solved by moving .kde* and some other settings directories out of the 
way in your home directory.  Other times, like just recently, they 
replace the kdmrc file so you have to go back in and reenable XMDCP. 
Often times a simple restart of your system will be enough to get things 
working again, as one of the update scripts may not have properly 
restarted every service related to XFree86.

Hope that helps,

Harold
