I still have the instability that I reported as problem #2 in
http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin-xfree/2009-10/msg00143.html
but I wasn't expecting you to fix that. As I said later in the thread,
I suspect BLODA.
But the new behavior of the timeout option (my problem #1) works fine,
with one caveat: If I start the X server with startxwin.bat, it
immediately exits and claims that a server is already running. This was
also reported earlier today by Jim Reisert:
http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin-xfree/2009-11/msg00158.html
Could it be that checkX is tricking XWin into thinking that a different
X server is running? (I have no idea how XWin decides whether an X
server is running, so this may or may not be plausible.) Strangely, the
problem doesn't occur if I use startxwin.sh instead of startxwin.bat.
Thanks to Lothar and you for the timeout patch.
Ken
