Hi, I've now noticed this across two different installations, both Windows 10 and Windows 11. I've refrained from attaching a cygcheck output for the moment, because I'm confident this is reproducible.
What I am seeing is that for Cygwin/X, in multi-window mode (and it just occurred to me it would be helpful to check the behaviour in rooted(? manual page terminology) mode. I'll follow-up on this)... in multi-window mode (Xwin -multiwindow), when I try to open an X window for any given app, it is not displayed on the first run. Either nothing happens, and I must ctrl-c the command line and retry, or a non-visible Window is created, so that the icon tray displays an icon with the generic X image, but not the icon of the X app itself. What I understand to be the base control test is to use xbiff. So just for completeness, this is how I reproduce for xbiff: terminal 1 === $ /usr/bin/XWin :1 -nolisten tcp -ac -multiwindow terminal 2 === $ DISPLAY=:1; export DISPLAY $ xbiff Warning: Cannot convert string "flagup" to type Pixmap Warning: Cannot convert string "flagdown" to type Pixmap ^C $ xbiff Warning: Cannot convert string "flagup" to type Pixmap Warning: Cannot convert string "flagdown" to type Pixmap <xbiff displays> I'll follow-up with my rooted mode observations. -- Regards, Shaddy -- Problem reports: https://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: https://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: https://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: https://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
