Yep, There are lots of them :) I even wrote one :) http://xlauncher.sf.net It's written in Delphi though, so can't be included in the cygwin distribution :( Hopefully someone will start writing one in straight C/C++ calling the Win32 API, so it could go in cygwin, so people will stop writing

pointers to something nice for C? I don't know if putting this sort of thing into XWin.exe itself would be all that good, as many people wouldn't need that sort of functionality, and it may bulk out the executable. Cheers for you comments, Tim. -- Tim Thomson [EMAIL PROTECTED] ICQ

Hi there, To those of you interested, I modified my x-launcher program to work with a stock cygwin-xfree install, without needing an install program. It should find where everything is by using the registry, then stores its own settings there too (in a different key!). xlauncher is a program

Thanks for the replies. The idea is to end up with an X server that is small and easy to use. I'd like to use the existing cygwin setup.exe, as it is very nice, but I don't want to end up with a full cygwin setup. Basically I'm after something like X-Win32, MI/x, or WinaXe, but based on

Hi there, My flatmate and I have been playing with creating a minimal install of cygwin-xfree. We culled files until we ended up with XWin.exe, a bunch of libraries, and a few fonts. We included also ttmkfdir.exe and mkfontdir.exe, so we can add more fonts later, and use the windows fonts. My
