Alexander,
if this is because of missing fonts, why does it work when I run it from
a CDE session started with XWin :1 -query remotehost? Doesn't is still
use the fonts that are local to the X-Server?
eg. If I run the app as described above,I do not expect it to get its
fonts from the Solaris box, I expect it to still use the fonts that are
on my cygwin machine.
