Xlib: unexpected connection setup reply from server, type 46

[Teus Benschop]

Hi,

I am mailing the list with a problem that occurs when Cygwin/X is 
started while a certain other program is running. I searched the list 
archives to see if this was discussed before, but could not find a 
reference to it.

After "startx" is entered in the Cygwin terminal, the X Windows system 
begins to start. It gives this message:

winClipboardProc - Could not open display, try: <n>, sleeping: 4
Xlib: unexpected connection setup reply from server, type 46

After 40 tries, it gives up with this message:
winClipboardProc - Failed opening the display, giving up

Cygwin/X finally times out and then starts, and the GUI Linux binary 
starts too, but when a clipboard operation in that binary is attempted, 
Cygwin says:

winProcSetSelectionOwner - Clipboard not yet started, aborting.

The "other program" is FieldWorks Language Explorer, freely available 
from http://www.sil.org/computing/FieldWorks/BTE-FW_downloads.htm. While 
this program runs, Cygwin/X gives the above messages. Vice versa, when 
Cygwin/X runs, the Language Explorer won't run but crashes on startup. 
If the Language Explorer is not running, Cygwin/X starts fine.

Is this a known problem?
Any workarounds?

Thanks,

Teus Benschop
