I posted a related problem a month ago (CYGWIN=tty). In my case, when starting the server, I could not start an Xterm, nor could I start one from the system tray icon. I could start one from a shortcut icon on my desktop, however.
This is the first time that anyone else on this list has confirmed it. - Jim On Wed, Feb 3, 2010 at 2:09 PM, Jon TURNEY <jon.tur...@dronecode.org.uk> wrote: > On 21/01/2010 23:13, Marco Atzeri wrote: >> >> Hi, >> after the transition from startxwin.bat to startxwin.exe, >> I had the "Xwin Server" menu pratically unusable. >> The server start but the xterm usually don't show up while >> ps reports it running.
