$ XWin.exe -query Solaris_CDE_host_name
After a while (too long with a shelving timestamp) I got the CDE login
screen. All CDE menues lacked text (empty), and my keyboard input and
password didn't become visible. Yet, I was able to login and exit from CDE.
What can be wrong; eg. do I need to connect using fontservice on the
Solaris_CDE host?
Yes, most likely.
From the faq: [David Dawson] For whatever reason, certain versions of
Solaris need fonts that are not provided by Cygwin/X;
There is more about Solaris in
http://x.cygwin.com/docs/faq/cygwin-x-faq.html
maybe it helps.
