Hi,
I installed XFree86/Cygwin via the semi-manual procedure that predates
the release of Setup.exe packages.
I want to know how I should handle switching over to the Setup.exe-based
installation of XFree86/Cygwin.
Should I just download the packages and install over the existing

No, I really didn't think so, but I was hoping that if someone saw the
symptoms and the specific graphics hardware I was using they might have a

Jehan,
Use ALT-Tab and you can get (back) to the full-screen X server window.
Personally, I like this. The details of the comings and goings of the
full-screen X window are perhaps not ideal, but it's nice that it goes away
totally when it's not in front and that I really get the full extent

There are 139 executables in the /usr/X11R6/bin directory of my
installation. Granted, most of them are just X and XFree86 utilities and
elementary components, but it's more than just XTerm and XEyes.
I've compiled the NCAR graphics environment (version 4.2.3) under
Cygwin/XFree86.

Would that mail client be Sylpheed?

Hi,
And the F12 and all other keyboard bindings are configurable, of course.
Also, F11 brings up the WindowMaker windows menu.
On a related topic:
I just tried to get window cycling to work, but changing the configured key
sequence doesn't seem to work. I used the Capture button to change the
it appropriate. Since the Windows API
makes it possible, it was clearly seen as a viable option that might be
desirable in some contexts.
Perhaps others could weigh in on whether they'd like to have the option to
avoid a taskbar icon?

Jean-Claude,
I think that's equally a valid a request. Probably even more-so. I just
don't like how cramped the taskbar tabs get, and I refuse to give the
taskbar more than one row. I'm just odd that way.
Sorry not to disagree with you.

Hi,
Since the native GUI model for Java programs running on Unix and Linux
hosts is X11, any and all Java GUI applications running on such hosts are
inherently able to have their human user interaction take place on a
separate host (or X terminal) from the host on which they execute.

When I need to know about command-line options or environment variables
that are not documented or for commands for which documentation is not

When you want to confirm file integrity in this manner, it's a good idea to
use some kind of checksum program, too: sum, cksum, md5sum or sha1sum. All
of these are available under Cygwin.
