It does matter if you run MC from rxvt without X server. In this case rxvt sets the DISPLAY variable though there is no actual X server running. This fact puzzles MC which tries to connect to the nonexistent X server resulting in a certain delay on startup. Please, let me know if you notice the slowdown again - I'll try to help you debug the problem. -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
