Hi. I have just installed xinit on my vista laptop. When I typed in 'xinit' in the cygwin console, I got a BIG BIG annoying X window which occupied all the space of my desktop and cannot be resized. When I started other programs in xterm, the new program just covered up the space where xterm used to be and I couldn't switch back to the xterm windows. How can I get a clean and separate xterm window? Thank you.
Use "startxwin.[bat|sh]", depending on your shell. If you're not familiar with how Cygwin-X works, you could benefit by taking a look at the documentation. There's a good walk-through of the install and basics for getting started. -- Larry Hall http://www.rfk.com RFK Partners, Inc. (508) 893-9779 - RFK Office 216 Dalton Rd.
