Re: How do I start WM?
Hi; To achive this, create a icon that points to C:\cygwin\bin\run.exe /usr/bin/bash.exe -l -c /usr/bin/startx Edit /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc and change twm to openbox That changes the behavior for all users. I tried this last advice. I get a quick flash and then gone (Windoze XP SP3, Cygwin 1.7). What did I do wrong or what I do too much of or what did I do not enough of? I'm really looking forward to a having a nice KDE screen initiated by cygwin rather than twm.

Re: How do I start WM?
Hi Holger; 1. Do you have a .xinitrc in your home directory? (try ls -la ) If so, delete it. I do not have a ~/.xinitrc in either /home/kwolcott 2. Will it start if you manually enter startx in a cygwin shell? I was able to start twm using startx without any problem, but I would like have KDE (yes I know it is much more heavy than twm) I would like to use some KDE-based utilites (konsole and that time manager I keep forgetting the name of); 2. If you don't change /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc, can you start the X Server with startx using twm? Yes. I thought I had *everything* that comes with Cygwin 1.7 -- how do I prove that?

Re: How do I start WM?
Hi Holger; In your first mail you said you wanted to start openbox as a window manager, now you talk about kde. That are two different things. What happens if you start openbox in a bash shell without starting a X-Server first? If I don't set the DISPLAY environment variable then it complains about it not being set. If I do set the DISPLAY environment variable then it complains about not being able to use it. Apparently I'm missing some components... $ openbox-session which: no hsetroot in [PATH content deleted] which: no esetroot in [PATH content deleted] xsetroot: unable to open display 'KWOLCOTT-T61:0.0' which: no gnome-settings-daemon in [PATH content deleted] which: no xfce-mcs-manager in [PATH content deleted] which: no start_kdeinit in [PATH content deleted] Openbox-Message: Failed to open the display from the DISPLAY environment variable. Normally I use the Xming X Window manager if I'm not running the twm Window Manager executed from Cygwin.
