What exact command is mapped to the "xterm" label in the right-click tray menu? It's configured in an init file somewhere though I can't remember the filename right now. Can you check whether the DISPLAY variable is set in the xterm process started from the tray menu? If it isn't, that would explain it. -- View this message in context: http://old.nabble.com/Can%27t-start-xterm-from-Cygwin-X-icon-in-system-tray-tp26969798p26977792.html Sent from the cygwin-xfree mailing list archive at Nabble.com. -- 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/
