Hello list..
I have created a little frontend that uses the Cygwin/XFree packages to connect via, XDMCP or X11 to my Linux box. It works pretty okay, and recently I upgraded the Xwin.exe to version 6.8.1.0-1, but now I have a annoying "status window" popping up where all the info and stuff about the things it loads. It dosen't disapear when the X server is done loading.
How can I hide that window?
Here is the command line I use to connect..
C:\Programmer\LinuxTSC\usr\X11R6\bin\XWin2.exe :0 -query 192.168.100.1 -screen 0 1024 768
Hope you experts can help :-)
Cheers
Esben
I believe I know what you're talking about. This behavior began with a build a few months back. If you search around there are various discussions of it and a few ideas on how to avoid it when starting X. The one I went with was to add 'run bash -c -l' to the beginning of the launch command. Basically this runs a 'login' shell around the command that is happy to disappear after the command launches.
Here's what my command to start X-windows is like:
run bash -c -l "XWin -clipboard -silent-dup-error &"
You should be able to do something similar. If you want more info do some Google searches or check the archives of this list.
