This is the first time I install XFree86 on Cygwin. I'm running
all current packages and for now installed the following:

XFree86-bin-4.3.0-3
XFree86-bin-icons-4.3.0-2
XFree86-etc-4.3.0-3
XFree86-lib-4.3.0-1
XFree86-prog-4.3.0-5
XFree86-startup-scripts-4.2.0-5
XFree86-xserv-4.3.0-11
XFree86-xwinclip-4.3.0-1

I skipped XFree86-fenc-4.2.0-3 and XFree86-fnts-4.2.0-3 since
I'm using the fonts from my Linux partition (mounted with
Ext2fsd 0.10a) to save some space. I don't know if the segfault
I get starting xedit is related. All other applications I tried
work.

/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts is a symlink to
/l/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts, which is read-only (directories
dr-xr-xr-x and files -r--r--r--). Since I'm not going to run
mkfontdir I suppose it should work.

BTW, will XFree86-xwinclip-4.3.0-1 be recompiled ? It currently
depends on XFree86-lib-compat.
