Re: Cygwin 1.7 xterm
would this be the case with the blank X windows hanging around (i.e. missing a definition in the .Xdefaults). Also, I just start X server and got this error trying to start the xterm from the startxwin.bat: 1 [main] xterm 3156 C:\Xwin\bin\xterm.exe: *** fatal error - couldn't allo cate heap, Win32 error 487, base 0x7D, top 0x91, reserve_size 1306624, a llocsize 1310720, page_const 4096 Mike Ayers wrote: From: cygwin-xfree-ow...@cygwin.com [mailto:cygwin-xfree- ow...@cygwin.com] On Behalf Of Jerry Lowry Sent: Friday, January 15, 2010 2:27 PM Okay, I understand that, but I did not have to do this under 1.5. Did they change the default in 1.7? I think a settings file went away. To get rid of the toolbar, put "XTerm*toolBar: false" (note case) in ~/.Xdefaults.

I've been seeing comments about this for a while - perhaps a year or so. It might be a change in 1.7. I use the toolbar configuration most of the time, but see my comment here http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=406169 Any ideas as to why the blank X windows still continue to stick around after the Xterm windows opens? no - one of the comments said that might be DOS windows (but I don't have 1.7 to see). thanks Thomas Dickey wrote: On Fri, 15 Jan 2010, Jerry Lowry wrote: After my last install of 1.7 software the X server does start and the blank X windows do go away.
