I've been holding off on upgrading to xterm-301 because of this issue. I'm not sure if there is some patch coming soon (either to xterm or adding a default /etc/shells to Cygwin), or if I should just plan on manually creating my own "/etc/shells". -- 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/

I like having a specific xterm icon in the taskbar to make it clear which X application is actually running. I was just surprised to see a different icon, and I was curious what had changed to make it appear. Thanks for the explanation! -- 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/
XTerm icon updated? Re: Updated: xterm-283-1
Did this update change the XTerm icon that is displayed in the Windows task bar? Previously, when I launched the XWin Server, I would see the x.org logo (a black X with an orange ring) in the task bar as the icon for the XTerm window. Today, I see the XTerm icon for the XTerm window: a red X with a blue T superimposed over it.

How about just adding the "XWin Server" shortcut to the "Startup" program group? -- 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/
