Problem solved by using the startxwin.bat in /usr/X11R6/bin. I guess the one at /usr/bin wasn't updated because I'd modified it? The only change I noticed was from: SET RUN=%CYGWIN_ROOT%\bin\run -p /usr/bin to: SET RUN=%CYGWIN_ROOT%\bin\run -p /usr/X11R6/bin This strikes me as odd, since the upgrade instructions seem to indicate that /usr/X11R6/bin was going away in favor of /usr/bin: http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin-xfree-announce/2008-11/msg00000.html So what's the deal here? Where is startxwin.bat supposed to live now? And how do I overcome the apparent problem of customizing it and getting killed by updates? A separate question: where can I find some documentation on \cygwin\bin\run.exe? I only have a vague idea what it does and no idea what options are available with it. -- 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/
