Recent versions of the cygwin X11 server come with a startup script
that explicitly uses '-nolisten tcp' for improved security. This means
that mentioning a host part in the DISPLAY variable precludes correct
operation. So, leave blank the host part such that only local connections
are attempted. Even if a user can override this setting in the own
~/.lyxprofile, novice users (and even experienced ones, at first) would be
probably confused by the "Error: Can't open display: localhost:0" message
and thus it is better to make this work out of the box.
Forthcoming versions of cygwin will use a different mechanism for
obtaining passwd/group information based on /etc/nsswitch.conf.
Thus, it will not be guaranteed that the files /etc/passwd and
/etc/group even exist. The recommended way for obtaining those
info is by using the getent command, which already works in
current versions.
Setting up .gitignore or .git/info/excludes is something that should
be done. Not doing it makes it a lot harder to see actual new files
that should be added.
