Re: Persistent CYGWIN/X server taskbar button with urxvt in CYGWIN-64, not rxvt in CYGWIN-32. Why?

Just chmod +x should be sufficient. I've probably done something wrong, although I have re-tested this run.exe and it seems to work for me. Perhaps you could try 'strace ./run XWin', that might shed some light on what's going wrong? -- Jon TURNEY Volunteer Cygwin/X X Server maintainer -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://x.cygwin.com/docs/ FAQ: http://x.cygwin.com/docs/faq/

If I could set up 64-bit CYGWIN (= C64) to behave exactly the same way as my 32-bit CYGWIN (= C32) set up I would, but the applications don't match up exactly and they don't behave exactly the same way. One difference I notice is that opening a urxvt in C64 creates a separate button associated with the Cygwin/X server process in the taskbar, whereas opening an rxvt in C32 does not. (rxvt is not available as a C64 application, but I would expect urxvt to operate similarly). In Yes, please use rxvt-unicode (urxvt). rxvt has been dead upstream for a decade. both cases an icon for the Cygwin/X server process shows up in the notification area. Both are started from a Windows shortcut: C32 target: C:\win32app\cygwin\bin\run.exe C:\win32app\cygwin\rxvtermX.bat C64 target: C:\win64app\cygwin\bin\run.exe C:\win64app\cygwin\urxvtermX.bat The batch files that run are similar. Both start 'XWin' if it is not already running, then run 'rxvt/urxvt'. [...] I prefer NOT to have the taskbar button for the Cygwin/X server process show up. Having an icon show up in the notification area is cleaner. Why are they behaving differently? Is there a way to make the urxvt version (C64) behave like the rxvt version (C32)? I think this is not a problem with the X server, but with the Cygwin run utility, which is supposed to run the .bat file with a hidden console. See [1] a previous discussion of this problem. I've built an x86_64 run.exe with that patch applied and uploaded it at [2]. Perhaps you could try that and see if it improves things.
