Dear Cygwin helper,
After the "startx" command it doesn't open X terminal. In fact, it
sometimes open Xterm sometimes not, givin the following error message:
<snip>
_XSERVTransMakeAlloCOTSServerListeners: server already running
<snip>
Please, tell me what to do to get rid of the problem?
The above looks like a likely culprit. Make sure the last instance is
really gone before starting a new one. Closing xterm doesn't shut down
the server, and if you just want a new xterm use the Cygwin-X shortcuts
or right click the 'X' in the system tray and find it in the
'Applications' list of the menu that pops up.
Good luck,
Ryan
