RE: Problem with running X apps

Add the follow "scriptlet" to the end of /usr/X11R6/bin/startxwin.sh:

disp=`echo $DISPLAY | awk -F: '{print $2}'`
ip=`ipconfig | grep Address | awk -F: '{print $2}' | sed "s# ##g"`
xhost remotehostname
rsh -l remoteusername remotehostname \
   xterm -title "remoteusername@remotehostname" -display $ip:$disp &

Thereafter, when starting XWin with this script, you will get 2 xterms at 
startup, one on localhostname and one on remotehostname.

Note that for rsh to be successful, you need to have a file called ".rhosts" 
in your home directory on remotehostname.  You will want to add an entry 
that looks like "localhostname localusername" on a line by itself.

You can figure out the value to use for localhostname by running "hostname" 
at the Cygwin bash prompt.

You can figure out the value to use for localusername by running "whoami" at 
the Cygwin bash prompt.

Type "man rsh" at the Cygwin bash prompt to learn more about the rsh 
command.
