Re: KDE (or gnome)

Hello! I am sorry to (maybe) destroy your enthusiasm but from my point of view there are some more reasons for not running either gnome or kde on cygwin: The main thing is: they are very large packages and even on my linux box they are that slow, that I prefer just using icewm as window

Hi, under HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon you create a string value named Shell, and you put what you want in it (cmd.exe for example). May be it could be used to load CygWin ? I haven't tried it that way. CU . \)|(/ .

Hi, it replaces explorer.exe (which is not lauched at all with this key present). In my example (cmd.exe), you just have a CMD window. It's really usefull if your explorer is causing trouble a startup. CU . \)|(/ . (o o) .

Il me semble que c'est une dll qui gere ca (msgina.dll). Mais la, tu vas changer pour tous les utilisateurs. Il existe des remplacement de cette DLL avec des ajouts. Par contre, si tu veux changer le logon pour avoir le logon Unix a la place ... ce n'est pas tout a fait gagne ;-) A+ .

Hello, I can't get TWM to recognize at least a few key modifiers: control, shift, meta. I am working in /etc/X11/twm/system.twmrc. TWM picks up other modifications to that file, but not the standard Button{1,2,3} bindings (it seems). To no avail, I tried using xmodmap to make explicit the

Elena, i am mising /usr/bin dirrectory In Windows Explorer you will not always see a c:\cygwin\usr\bin directory. Cygwin stores its binaries in c:\cygwin\bin and /usr/bin is just a link to /bin. Thus, in a Cygwin bash shell if you do an `ls /usr/bin' you'll see the contents of

Dave, Some simple questions first, since you didn't mention them. 1) Did you run 'xhost %my_vms_hostname_or_ip_address' in a Cygwin/XFree86 xterm before launching an app on VMS? 2) Have you tried running XWin.exe with the -ac (no authentication) parameter as a test? That should give you a

Hi Harold! I need some non-U.S. keyboard testers to run this test program and send their output to the list. You'll need to feed the test program's window some key presses. Be sure to press some general keys such as 'a', 'enter', 'left arrow', etc. as well as some non-standard keys like
