I think you have either installed the wrong one or have DISPLAY set
wrong.
Of course $DISPLAY is set wrong. /etc/prodile.d/qt3.3.sh sets it
unconditionally to 127.0.0.1:0, which also breaks 'ssh -X'. Anyone know
*why* it's doing this?
'Cause it's broken?
Can it be fixed? (I assume this comes from a qt package ;-) but I don't
know who maintains those.)
It's not in the official distribution: <http://cygwin.com/packages/qt/>.
You'd probably better ask whoever you got it from (but not on this list).
It isn't?
http://cygwin.com/packages/qt3/
http://cygwin.com/packages/qt3-bin/
http://cygwin.com/packages/qt3-devel/
http://cygwin.com/packages/qt3-doc/
'[ -z "$DISPLAY" ] && export DISPLAY=127.0.0.1:0' seems to work better.
Nope, it's worse. Perhaps the user left DISPLAY unset for a reason... I
don't want simply installing some package to muck up my $DISPLAY...
"Better". The other alternative is to simply remove the line, which is
probably "best". :-)
