Can't start xterm from Cygwin/X icon in system tray

I have a very strange situation. At work, I am running Win XP SP3. I installed all the latest Cygwin (1.7.1) + Xorg updates, including startxwin.exe. Everything works perfectly. At home, I am running Windows 7 Professional, 64-bit. I am unable to start an xterm from the Cygwin/X icon in the

1.7.1: xterm osc 52 copy/paste bug?

Hi! I just have installed 1.7.1 release and try xterm osc 52 copy/paste escape sequences - they have work in the beta release. The paste seq: echo -ne "\033]52;;?\033\\" works justr fine, but copy seq: echo -ne "\033]52;;cXdlcnR5\033\\" didn't works ("cXdlcnR5&

I'm having problems with copying text from a Windows application (Firefox) and pasting into Cygwin Emacs (23.1.1). I'm running Cygwin 1.7 (latest) and Xorg (latest). When pasting into Emacs, my mouse pointer changes to an hourglass, and after what seems like an eternity (10-30 seconds), the paste

Re: cygwin-x xterm not compatible with windows 7? Solution Found

Hi All: I fixed this problem. I was using the cygwin beta 1.7. I reinstalled cygwin using the last stable release, 1.5.25. I also had to add the "sleep 5" line to startxwin.bat and startxwin.sh. So, I guess this is a defect to log against the 1.7 beta: the xterm execut

I turned off UAC, or so I am told. The server seems to start up OK. But xterm cannot access the shared memory? I ran this from the Cygwin.bat and got this stack dump. Exception: STATUS_ACCESS_VIOLATION at eip=3D73693A^M eax=00CA9719 ebx=5C3D6F68 ecx=0028B98D edx=038D esi
