Jehan,
Excellent summarization of the thread regarding how we can add
/usr/X11R6/bin to the path.
Looks like we had Dave Cook and Robert Collins discussing the best way to do
things but then the thread died.
I don't really think that I

Jehan,
As a rule of thumb, packages should *never* modify the /etc/profile
script (even if you do back it up). This is a big no-no, as most
*nix people would tell you. If you insist on getting into a
discussion on why this is, then so be it. Instead, create 2 scripts
(a csh and a sh) and drop

After a brief discussion this morning, Ralf has given me permission

Excellent.
In xwinclip I calculate the maximum socket number just like you are doing:
/* Find max of our file descriptors */
iMaxDescriptor = max (fdMessageQueue, iConnectionNumber) + 1;
At least it is fixed now.

As I understand it, the whole point of /etc/profile.d/ is to allow packages to
put their own startup scripts there and not modify /etc/profile - the underlying
reason being that package management generally does a good job of adding and
removing files, but changing them is fraught with
Hi Jim,
I use cygwin-sylpheed for almost an year. It has become my main email client.
Of course I am interested that anybody becomes the maintainter of this great
