Jean,
So you said earlier that you were running ICE Window manager... Did you compile
(or acquire binaries) for the most recent version of ICE? Have you tried twm
instead? I am pretty sure that is packaged with the Cygwin/XFree binaries. I
know twm is much smaller and less complex than ICE. If it is not, do a quick
search through /usr/X11R6/bin for *wm*, and try to run one of the window
managers you already have. Possibly ICE is the problem?
Just a thought,
Brian
