Thanks for you reply René. I think I going to have to switch from digest to getting every email. I see you replied right away but I just got the digest today.

The menus and everything else would work as expected. Now I see just a window but the menu doesn't even show up. Worse, once I run gnome-terminal, I cannot kill it and XWin hangs trying to fork new xterm from the XWin menu. I have to use the Windows task manager to kill all the XWin stuff and then restart XWin again. IOW, after gnome-terminal is up and hung, if I right click the X to start more xterms, they don't show up and ps -ef in cygwin shows one XWin process for every time I try to start a new local xterm. At this point in time, I'd just like to find somebody that is using a gnome-terminal in cygwin so I can tell if it's my environment or if the problem is the package itself. I sent an email to Yaakov but I guess he didn't see in the sea of emails he probably gets every day. -- Luis P Caamano Atlanta, GA USA -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://x.cygwin.com/docs/ FAQ: http://x.cygwin.com/docs/faq/
