Color in Xterm vim matching gvim
Hi all, I was wondering if any vim/gvim users knew how to get gvim's color schemes to match those of regular shell based vim. For instance, I am using the koehler color scheme in gvim, but sometimes I just want to load vim but koehler looks different in the shell. Is this a limitation of xterm's color palette?

Re: Tabbed xterm
Thanks for the info. I got it working. One thing though, and this is probably an easy one. How can I get a windows shortcut to start mrxvt? Xterms are started like this: C:\cygwin\usr\X11R6\bin\run.exe -p /usr/X11R6/bin xterm -e /usr/bin/tcsh but if I try to start mrxvt like this: C:\cygwin\usr\X11R6\bin\run.exe -p /usr/local/bin mrxvt -e /ust/bin/tcsh Nothing comes up.

RE: Multiple XWin.exe programs loading and no xterm
I wasn'y reffering to your situation specifically. Even when the script is not executed twice, two Xwin.exe processes launch. That is what I described in the first post of this thread. As I learned, adding the -kb flag makes the second Xwin.exe die shortly after the initial launch, but my question is why two are loading in the first place. --- Armbrust, Daniel C. [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Because I execute the entire script twice, since the first execution doesn't bring up any xterms. Still not sure what is causing it to take so long to launch the xwin.exe.

Re: Multiple XWin.exe programs loading and no xterm
For me, putting a pause at the end of startxwin.bat does not make it work. However, I have found something that does seem to work for me. When I launch statxwin.bat, in addition to the 2 XWin.exe processes, there is also a sh.exe process that starts which I assume is from the MS-DOS shell that the .bat is run from. Even though the shell window closes after the script finishes, the sh.exe process is still running. If I open the task manger and end the sh.exe process, the xterm pops open and the extra XWin.exe goes away. Does anyone know why this sh.exe process whould linger around or how to kill it without having to open the task manager and mouse to it every time? --- Jack Tanner [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Armbrust, Daniel C. wrote: This happens to me all the time - I usually have to launch the X stuff 2 or 3 times before it actually works. I have to manually kill off all xterm.exe, bash.exe, and other cygwin programs in between the launches. I keep meaning to look into it more, but since I start it less than once a week, I haven't had enough incentive to dig deeper yet. I guess I'm not alone. I've managed to solve this problem with the following hack: I add a pause command to the end of startxwin.bat. I forget why I tried this, but it works.

Multiple XWin.exe programs loading and no xterm
Hello, Please help. This is my first time trying to start X windows using cygwin although I have been using cygwin for a while now. I am running it like this: 1. Open cygwin bash shell 2. Type startxwin.bat The problem is that not much happens after that except that an X icon shows up in the windows task bar. If I open the windows Task Manager, I can see that there are two XWin.exe programs running. There is also an xterm.exe running, although I cannot see it on my screen. I have tried killing one of the XWin.exe processes, but the xterm never opens. I have also tried startx from the cygwin shell. This produces the same results described above, although it does print some information to the shell. Listed below is a copy of this shell printout. Am I starting it the wrong way? I am running this under Windows XP with service pack 2 installed. Any ideas? I have seached the web and mailing list archive to try and find some answers for this problem, but have found nothing.
