Cygwin 1.7 xterm

2010-01-15 Thread Jerry Lowry
After my last install of 1.7 software the X server does start and the 
blank X windows do go away.  But when I start an Xterm the blank X 
windows stay around.  Anyway to start Xterm with them going away once 
started.  Also, the Xterm that starts looks like a version from back in 
the 80's.  Has Main Options, VT Options, VT Fonts accross the 
top.  Any way to change this back to what I was running under 1.5?


thanks

man xterm

(command-line options)
   +tb This option indicates that xterm should not set up a toolbar.


(resources)
   toolBar (class ToolBar)
   Specifies  whether or not the toolbar should be displayed.  The
   default is true.

I've been seeing comments about this for a while - perhaps a year or so.
It might be a change in 1.7.

I use the toolbar configuration most of the time, but see my comment here

http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=406169

Any ideas as to why the blank X windows still continue to stick around after 
the Xterm windows opens?


no - one of the comments said that might be DOS windows (but I don't have
1.7 to see).



thanks

I think a settings file went away.  To get rid of the toolbar, put 
XTerm*toolBar: false (note case) in ~/.Xdefaults.  Note that ~ is defined by 
/etc/passwd, not HOME.

would this be the case with the blank X windows hanging around (i.e. 
missing a definition in the .Xdefaults).


Also, I just start X server and got this error trying to start the xterm 
from the startxwin.bat:

Don't do that, read the release notes instead, or search the mail list 
archive (FAQ still needs an update):

C:\ C:\cygwin\bin\run.exe /usr/bin/bash.exe -l -c /usr/bin/startxwin.exe
