Excuse me for my description : actually the manipulation was

 

XWin&

 

(the empty black window appears)

 

fvwm2&

 

(nothing appears in the black window, and the error message "can't open display" appears in the cygwin window)

 

and then, after waiting for 2 or 3 minutes i close the big window.

 

I have made the same experience right now... As you said : the most important is to run texmacs, and this is possible with startw&. At the same time i can't prevent myself to be worried with this...

 

Thank you for caring,

 

Richard

There was the mistake. You should not have closed the window. It had to
stay open. :-(

Sure. You just closed the display before it could start.

As you like. The most important thing is that it works...
