This gets back to what we were discussing before about per-package Windows shortcuts instead of X-start-menu-icons. The difference here is that most programs would use run(1), and if I would implement this in a widespread fashion, it would be through a new API in cygport. This might be an exception, though, so I'll look into adding this to the xinit package. > Yaakov, would you consider something like the below for > post-install/pre-remove scripts? > > mkshortcut -A -w ~ -P /usr/bin/startxwin.bat -i /usr/bin/XWin.exe -n "CygwinX > Server" > > rm "`cygpath -A -P`/CygwinX Server.lnk" > > (Note that it seems we can't say "Cygwin/X" as the shortcut name is a filename > so can't contain the directory separator :D) I would just add a space instead of the slash then. Let me work on it.
