Hi,

All was good, till a couple weeks ago when I added some packages to cygwin, and several packages where also upgraded.  Then xterm response time became very slow.  I tried a second upgrade yesterday, and now I cannot even start an xterm, nor will startxwin start properly.  This is a company computer which has Symantec anti-virus.  I tried disabling that as well.

Here is the most obvious symptom:

% echo $DISPLAY
127.0.0.1:0.0
% /usr/bin/startxwin.exe


waiting for X server to begin accepting connections .
..
giving up.
/usr/bin/startxwin:  Socket type not supported (errno 124):  unable to connect to X server
/usr/bin/startxwin:  No such process (errno 3):  Server error.

Notice the value of $DISPLAY above, which does not match whats in XWin.0.log (it has :0.0).  No idea how/why that happens.  

Thanks,
-Mike
