RE: Basic question 3 - system tray icon
Piggy-backing on this question, right clicking on icon is an item Show Cursor. What does that do, anyway? I have tried releasing the mouse on that and I don't see any difference to any cursors on the wmaker screen. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Herbert Eppel Sent: Wed, September 28, 2005 5:03 AM To: cygwin-xfree@cygwin.com Subject: Basic question 3 - system tray icon Can the cygwin X server be prevented from placing an icon in the Windows system tray?

RE: Basic question 3 - system tray icon
No. He is telling you how to shut down with a single click rather than my right clicking and selecting Exit. Which is answering your question 4. Also about your question 2, as someone else recommended, you should consider running either startxwin.bat or startxwin.sh. But doing that, whatever you wrote in ~/.xinitrc would no longer be effective because either of these startup files would not call .xinitrc . I prefer the bat file because I would need to first start cygwin bash in a win/xp cmd window to allow me to run the sh file, thereby leaving a win/xp cmd window around annoying you more than the X icon would. The bat file is not unix and you might be more familiar with it. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Herbert Eppel Sent: Wed, September 28, 2005 12:08 PM To: cygwin-xfree@cygwin.com Subject: Re: Basic question 3 - system tray icon On 28.09.2005 16:48 UK Time, Reid Thompson wrote: Herbert Eppel wrote: Can the cygwin X server be prevented from placing an icon in the Windows system tray?

Thanks, although I'm afraid I still fail to see Reid's single-click solution - but never mind, I think I am satisfied now that my own single-click solution (i.e. x in top right corner) is 'safe'.

Anyway, I'm still not sure what exactly you meant by highlight with left mouse button, paste with middlebutton/scrollwheel - would you care to elaborate? Thanks Herbert Eppel -- www.HETranslation.co.uk my mouse has two buttons + a scrool wheel that can be clicked. clicking the scroll wheel acts the same as clicking the middle mouse button of a three button mouse. so, i can highlight any text with the left mouse button ( or other means ), and then click with the the scroll button to paste into any other application. if you don't have a three button mouse, and don't have a scroll wheel that clicks, you can try clicking right and left mouse buttons very quickly one after the other -- on many systems this is configured to emulate the button 3 click. I highly recommend downloading rxvt and configuring it as your terminal -- it is orders of magnitude better than cmd.exe in my opinion. reid -- 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/
