x windows out of handles

[jeff kish]

Hi,

I am trying to get cygwin X-win to work with putty.

Right now the situation is:

I have a Windows 7 operating system on my laptop. On this laptop

I have an old 1.11.2 version of cygwin - when I fire up the X-Win server,

my putty can connect and run IBMIM just fine (an IBM installation app on a

target CENTOS system that uses eclipse for its interface).

I have a newer version that gets an error about not being able to get

handles:

[root@gb-dev eclipse]# ./IBMIM

00:02.59 ERROR [main] org.eclipse.equinox.log.internal.ExtendedLogReaderServiceFactory safeLogged

 Application error

 org.eclipse.swt.SWTError: No more handles [gtk_init_check() failed]

   at org.eclipse.swt.SWT.error(SWT.java:4394)

   at org.eclipse.swt.widgets.Display.createDisplay(Display.java:914)

   at org.eclipse.swt.widgets.Display.create(Display.java:900)

   at org.eclipse.swt.graphics.Device.<init>(Device.java:156)

   ...

IBMIM:

An error has occurred. See the log file

/opt/IBM/InstallationManager/eclipse/configuration/1542821077750.log.

[root@gb-dev eclipse]#

Finally I downloaded the very latest version (x window server shows 1.20.2) and had the same error...

I had posted this to a cygwin group and had suggestions to  check tcp/ip settings but its not obvious where those are.

Does anyone have any steps to fix/troubleshoot?

If not is there a straightforward way to compare operational settings? The startxwin file seemed to refer to a number of possible related programs that have related settings.

thanks

Jeff
