It seems that the open start menu links don't work correctly anymore. It seems that shortcut targets like 'C:\cygwin64\bin\run.exe /usr/bin/bash.exe -l -c "/usr/bin/startx /usr/bin/openbox-session"' need the new --quote option in run-1.3.3 to work correctly.

problems running Cygwin/x
I successfully installed Cygwin/x on an NTFS drive unfortunately the menu items are limited to; one item for Cygwin (cygwin64 terminal) five items for cygwinx (GNOME openbox, KDE openbox, openbox, xlaunch, xwin server) please see graphic at; http://cpm86.com/menu.jpg if I try GNOME Openbox, or KDE Openbox, or Openbox; it appears to start, but I cannot run xclock and there is no X server icon in the lower right icon panel if I try xlaunch, it shows a dialog "select display settings", then "select how to start clients", then "extra settings"; then it shows an 'X' icon in the lower RH panel; and when I right-mouse-click the X icon, choose applications/xterm, it brings up a terminal window where I can run xclock etc if I try "xwin server" it doesn't bring up the xlaunch dialogs, instead it immediately opens a terminal window where I can start xclock etc essentially I want to be sure Cygwin/x has installed correctly; particularly the three Openbox options do not seem to do anything; should they be bringing up some sort of GNOME or KDE desktop? -- 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/
