Re: System tray menu tuning & Xwin0.log in mintty console with startx
Hello Marco and thank you for your precious answer. I think that I understand why the Xserver log splash on the screen in mintty. I found an explanation for this around web within a post. It says that Mintty use pty's so "if you run say Cygwin's bash from a cmd window and then start cmd it will not get the echoing. If, however, you start cmd from a bash shell that is in a mintty window then you're using pty's and you'll get echoing." Is this correct in your opinion? With reference to your "open more than Mintty window" (Minttty within another Mintty), I saw that the echoin starts on windows that contains startx script execution. Taking into account your suggested solution I think that you mean to create 2 .bat Win files into the usb eigher containing: 1) E:\cygwin\bin\run.exe --quote /usr/bin/bash.exe -l -c "cd; exec /usr/bin/startxwin" 2) E:\cygwin\bin\run.exe --quote /usr/bin/bash.exe -l -c "cd; exec /usr/bin/startx" I tried them and they are Ok!The only command that I don't understand is "cd;". Why do you use it? With reference to portable version I try to go into the site but it is very difficult to find an email in wich I can suggest some items to the author. I hope to reach and send my comments to tune the .paf file.

Hi Alessandro, mail in html format are rejected by the server filter. When I launch Cygwin it appears on the task bar (at the bottom right) a system tray icon. what do you mean with "launch Cygwin" ? How ? In the program menu there are two related Cygwin folder - one named "Cygwin" with the "Cygwin Terminal" (also know as Mintty) - one named "Cygwin-X" with the "Xwin server" Pushing the mouse botton, I open a menu (unfortunately I can't attached a little screenshot into my mail) and I find items like: You can always provide a link to a image on the web, like http://pasteboard.co/e4ebPMNc.png Script .. Open Bash Open XServer ... Beenden I do not recognize these. Are you using a third party software ? Or a specific X Window Manager ? The item "open XSever" no runs so I think it starts with wrong parameter command inserted "in background" to the choice . This is because on bash environment with startxwin it is all OK without problem. I want to tune the parameters hidden on the menu -choice. After I would to change the "Beenden" with "Exit-Cyg" Where can I find the commands hidden in this menu-items? With reference to the second point my dubt: is there a way to erase the echoin in mintty? This is because when I go with startx & startxwin in "ConEmu" shell I don't see the log messages on to the screen, otherwise when I go within mintty, startx makes the echo & startxwin doesn't make it I don't use ConEmu. Mintty is fine for me. The logs of the XWin Server are available on "/var/log/xwin/" directory, whatever method was used to start the Xwin Server. With "doesn't make" do you mean The Xserver don't start ? Have you tried the icon on the Windows Program Menu ?

Note that (I believe) what shows up in the system try is not the XTerm, but the XServer (XWin). While the XServer is running, you can run a client, like XTerm and it will display on the XServer display. Here is the shortcut I'm using to launch an XTerm under 64-bit cygwin: C:\Apps\cygwin\bin\run.exe -p /usr/X11R6/bin xterm +tb -sb -sl 5000 -display 127.0.0.1:0.0 -ls This is working fine for me. You can also check the /var/log/xwin/XWinwhatever.log file to see if there are any errors being written there when you try to launch the XTerm.

Hello Craig,
you have to use X11 Forwarding. Try
menu root {
// Comments fit here, too...
Xterm exec xterm
Xterm - Vulpix exec ssh -Y vulpix xterm -e bash --login
}
or
menu root {

They both use the same mirror for installing and are both fully up to date.
A précis of my .XWinrc looks like this:
menu root {
// Comments fit here, too...
Xterm exec xterm
Xterm - Vulpix exec ssh vulpix xterm -e bash --login
}
And on the desktop both work and on the laptop only the local xterm will run.
Nothing appers in /var/log/anything
So I added an entry like this:
Experiment exec ~/experiment
and ~/experiment looks like this
#!/bin/bash
(
set -x
ssh -v vulpix xterm
) /tmp/experiment 21
It still fails (i.e. does nothing) and /tmp/experiment has
+ ssh -v vulpix xterm

You have spaces in your PATH but probably did not quote it
properly in your scripts when you used it ...
I have things like this in my .bash_profile:
PATH=${HOME}/bin:/c/miktex2.8/miktex/bin:${PATH}:${M2_HOME}/bin
Note the quotes :-)
Since I run MiKTeX from cygwin, I added to PATH within cygwin only,
so that's not my point. My point is always using the quotes when
adjusting PATH, and so forth, if it might have spaces in it.

My wild guess is that you have a typo in .bashrc which prevents all the startup happening. in your system tray launched window, make sure you are in your home directory, then run '. .bashrc' (note that first period!) and see if there are any error messages. You can also edit .bashrc and put 'set -x' as the first line for verbose output. HTH, Mike

Ah! Yes, this is where the problem was. This is what I found in my

source /etc/bash.bashrc

The last line is the guilty party, I added it by mistake and forgot to
remove it. I've deleted it, and now the message doesn't appear. It was
redundant because MiKTeX was already added to the PATH in Windows. Mea

using becuase I hadn't seen it before.

Re: Can't start xterm from Cygwin/X icon in system tray
After re-installing Cygwin from scratch, I have determined that this environment variable is/was causing the problem: CYGWIN=tty Once I removed it, I was able to create an X term from the icon in the system tray. - Jim On Wed, Dec 30, 2009 at 10:07 AM, I wrote: I have a very strange situation. At work, I am running Win XP SP3. I installed all the latest Cygwin (1.7.1) + Xorg updates, including startxwin.exe. Everything works perfectly. At home, I am running Windows 7 Professional, 64-bit. I am unable to start an xterm from the Cygwin/X icon in the system tray (right-click, select xterm). Both setups have the same line in .XWinrc: xterm EXEC xterm I am starting the X server the same way: D:\Cygwin\bin\run.exe /usr/bin/bash.exe -l -c /usr/bin/startxwin.exe I do not have a ~/.startxwinrc file. The xterm that is supposed to be created when the server starts doesn't start either. The symptom is that xterm.exe is shown running in the task manager, but there is no Xterm window on the desktop. As a work-around, I created a shortcut on my desktop to start an xterm: D:\Cygwin\bin\run.exe /usr/bin/xterm -display localhost:0 That works perfectly, but is not an optimum solution (I try to have as few desktop icons as possible). There is nothing in the /var/log/Xwin log that indicates why an xterm would start but not open a window.

I run Win7 64bit as well and the shortcut WJFFM. One thing I just realized tonight is that if you use keychain(1) and added the command to your ~/.bash_profile (as suggested in that manpage), AND you use the shortcut to launch XWin without having started a console session first, then the login shell in which we want to launch startxwin will wait indefinitely for your SSH password (which you won't see because we use run.exe). Trying the shortcut again while this occurs should work after a ~30-sec delay. The fix for that is to test the presence of an interactive shell before running keychain (see bash.info, section 6.3.2): case $- in *i*) eval `keychain --eval ~/.ssh/id_dsa` ;; esac Since you mention it's your home computer that's having issues, I can only guess this might be it.

Can't start xterm from Cygwin/X icon in system tray
I have a very strange situation. At work, I am running Win XP SP3. I installed all the latest Cygwin (1.7.1) + Xorg updates, including startxwin.exe. Everything works perfectly. At home, I am running Windows 7 Professional, 64-bit. I am unable to start an xterm from the Cygwin/X icon in the system tray (right-click, select xterm). Both setups have the same line in .XWinrc: xterm EXEC xterm I am starting the X server the same way: D:\Cygwin\bin\run.exe /usr/bin/bash.exe -l -c /usr/bin/startxwin.exe I do not have a ~/.startxwinrc file. The xterm that is supposed to be created when the server starts doesn't start either. The symptom is that xterm.exe is shown running in the task manager, but there is no Xterm window on the desktop. As a work-around, I created a shortcut on my desktop to start an xterm: D:\Cygwin\bin\run.exe /usr/bin/xterm -display localhost:0 That works perfectly, but is not an optimum solution (I try to have as few desktop icons as possible). There is nothing in the /var/log/Xwin log that indicates why an xterm would start but not open a window.

located: Vista system tray exit menu item crash
As reported in http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin-xfree/2007-08/msg00027.html X ends suddenly when the exit menu item is selected from the X icon in the system tray. The crash happens in a call to CreateDialogParam in the function winDisplayExitDialog in programs/Xserver/hw/xwin/windialogs.c. CreateDialogParam is a MS call (http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms645445.aspx). Is anyone familiar with the function or why it might fail on Vista but not XP?

taskbar and system tray menus
I know this is really, really nitpicky, and inconsequential in comparison with the great work recently done on Xfree (thank you folks enormously!), but still: can the context menu for all X clients be re-ordered such that the Exit option is bottom-most? (For example, see the context menus for any application not in the system tray.) On a related note, can the context menu for the system tray icon be re-ordered the same way? My motivation for this request is that I'm simply very used to closing applications by right-clicking and picking the last option on the list, which is where my mouse pointer already happens to be. -JT
Re: taskbar and system tray menus
Jack, Let me rephrase this: 1) Move 'Always On Top' to the top of the system menu, instead of putting it at the bottom. 2) Move 'Exit' from the top of the notification tray icon menu to the bottom. Those sound doable and they both sound like standards that other Windows apps follows. I think they should be done.

Re: taskbar and system tray menus
Colin, I would much rather have you fix this :) Test91 includes the reorg that I was talking about. Feel free to patch away. Harold Colin Harrison wrote: Hi-Jack, It's fairly easy to do this (multiwindow) I assume you want the 'Close' at the bottom instead of the 'Always On Top' in the sys menus (right click on app. title or task bar) (i.e. the two menu items transposed)? and 'Exit' at the bottom below 'Show Root Window' in the tray (right click on tray X icon )(again transposed)? If others agree... I'll try this after Harold's reorg. Coding Note: requires a minor change to XWin.rc and a function call change in winmultiwindowwindow.c.(AppendMenu to InsertMenu or InsertMenuItem with a bit of jiggery pokery) I agree it would be more 'normal' to have close/exits at the bottom of menu items (why be weird, it's almost a standard in Windows, until MS re-style and blow us all away!)

Yup, this is exactly what I want. If others agree... I'll try this after Harold's reorg. Thank you! Another, even nitpickier request re: the tray menu. The current behavior is: click on Show Root Window, get the root window, and the menu changes to Hide Root Window; click on Hide Root Window, the root window hides, and the menu changes to Show Root Window. It feels like bad UI to change the menu entry from underneath the user. My suggestion: make the default menu Hide Root Window with a (checked) checkbox next to it. When the user clicks on (checked) Hide Root Window, show the root window and clear the cbeckbox. When the user clicks on (unchecked) Hide Root Window, hide the root window and set the check again. -JT

Right. I didn't know that checkboxes were so easy when I implemented it. I will probably change this, since I did the same sort of thing in my Morse Code Beeper that I just posted. Harold
Re: taskbar and system tray menus
Hi Harold, Code changes for this, I missed the mail earlier on doing the checkbox bit on Hide Root Window, one for you? 'Exit' to bottom on tray and 'Always On Top' to top on sys menu (better I think than the transpose with 'Close') So 'Exit' and 'Close' are now at bottom of respective menus. I put a hot-key on the T in 'Top' (made sense to me).

Re: taskbar and system tray menus
Hi Colin and Harold. It seems like there is a storm of nit-picking this week, must be something in the air. Anyhoo... -- Original Message - Subject: Re: taskbar and system tray menus .. 'Exit' to bottom on tray and 'Always On Top' to top on sys menu (better I think than the transpose with 'Close') So 'Exit' and 'Close' are now at bottom of respective menus. -- My nit is this placing the custom items before the system items in the title menu is against all other Windoze UIs I've ever seen: nobody adds things to the top of the popup menu. Check for yourself, right-click on a CMD shell or cygwin shell, you see the Edit/Defaults/Props menu items after the Windoze standard ones. Right-click on an IE mini-icon in the title bar, you get Close followed by Make available offline. Or a regular explorer window, you get Close followed by all the other items... -- -Earle F.

Re: taskbar and system tray menus
Hi Earle, I must admit I like 'Close' at the bottom. Harold must rule on this one, or else we'll keep moving the furniture around :) I'm easy either way, I won't use the menu much anyway. As always 95% of the effort goes into only 5% of the product! 'Always on Top' has a natural place somewhere I'm sure! Aren't the nits biting today. Asking an obvious question: Why do we need an 'Always on Top'anyway? It's silly on most of the remote stuff I run to ever want this to happen. Only taskbars (Office bars etc) get this privilege to dominate the desktop and only then around the edges! Colin

If only that was the case! :) I think there is still mucho trabajo a hacer, especially in the Window Manager part of the multiwin setup. Everyone seems to want it to do something different, and IMHO you can either a) hack the code to make nobody happy (person X says 'oh, I want it to do A' and person Y says 'oh, if it does A then it's junk!'), or b) put in real configuration files just like FVWM where you have a ~/.xwinrc with lines like AlwaysOnTop = FALSE and ContextMenu=[xterm on XXX, xterm on YYY, ...] and xterm.*.icon=bigicon.png,littleicon.png Plus, there's the work Harold's doing on the windows message hooks which might be a really big change. -Earle F.
