The netinstaller adds these to the registry under AppPaths for xemacs:
C:/cygwin/usr/local/bin/i686-pc-cygwin;C:/cygwin/bin;C:/cygwin/usr/bin
so it seems this should be unneccessary. Can you check that you AppPaths
entry actually matches your setup. This is

I thought that both XEmacsen worked better with cygwin ftp.

Can you elaborate on this? Does it crash or what?

From http://www.xemacs.org/Download/win32/, "Do not use Cygwin
ftp in native
Windows XEmacs! It does not work. Just rename cygwin/bin/ftp.exe to
cygwin/bin/ftp.exe.orig and EFS should work as well."

Since this post, I've made additional discoveries. Removing the
split-window-horizontally was coincidental. I posted again with the subject
"Windows hangs after switching buffers on Cygwin XP." The three paragraphs
below were copied from that post.
This bug sometimes occurs and sometimes does not. When a new window is
displayed, XEmacs hangs, except menus and toolbar buttons work. This hang
has occurred at startup, before the XEmacs splash page and
copyright information completely displays. It has occurred when switching to
the *scratch* buffer (or any other), and it has occurred when opening a
file.
When XEmacs is hung, it is not possible to key into any buffer, including
the minibuffer, nor is it possible to move the cursor with keys or mouse.
However, the menus and toolbar still work. To unhang XEmacs, all one must do
is click "File, Open" or the toolbar equivalent; then cancel the dialogue
box, instead of loading a file. Afterwards, XEmacs works OK until the next
hang. Whereupon, one may recover again.

Sorry, my mistake - the latter is correct but should contain something like
xemacs-21.4.9.exe. It seems strange that this does not exist. Did you use a
new setup.exe? Did you install with adminstrator priviledges?

Oh, ok.

This sounds like the same event loop problem that native users were seeing.
I
think fixing it requires a patch to cygwin.

like

Yes to administrator priviledges. Either 1.2.2.11.2.11 or perhaps
1.2.2.11.2.10.

I

If native users are seeing this problem, why will a patch to Cygwin help?
Is there a patch to Cygwin? If not, do you know when there will be a patch?
