But I tried shutting down Zonealarm--> X still hangs. Do you think it ss
really a ZoneAlarm problem?

Can you help me solving just the xkb problem (which is not related to
network)?
I appreciate very much to work with my keyboard.
Now i'm using 'startx -- -kb -clipboard'
without -multiwindow the X starts hanged. After killing cat.exe, X is ready
and I can use it.
my little goal is to remove that -kb to regain my keyboard!
