What you've seen there is the KDE desktop running on windows. The default startup of Cygwin/X will just start the xserver and enables it to show every X11 window in its own Windows window. If you want a desktop with Gnome or KDE then check out http://kde-cygwin.sf.net http://cygnome.sf.net or you could install the WindowMaker windowmanager and adjust startxwin.bat to not start XWin with the -multiwindow switch and start wmaker (i think twm is the commented default) With the current setting you can install the X-startmenu-icons and you'll get an entry Cygwin/X in the startmenu with shortcuts to a lot of installed programs from xorg-x11. bye ago NP: Die �rzte - Eines Tages Werde Ich Mich R�c -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.gotti.org ICQ: 126018723
