With the clipboard enabled, do you know how to highlight, copy & paste between win/xp and cygwin? I think that is his intent.
Microsoft(which you know): copy is by selecting then ctrl-c or menu-copy. paste is by ctrl-v or menu-paste. Motif & cygwin: Selecting text would spontaneously (some people might prefer the term, automatically) copy into clipboard. Paste is by middle button click. e.g. copying from MS to Cyg: copy text from MS win, move cursor to cyg window and press/release middle button. Conversely from cyg to MS: select text at cyg win, move mouse to MS win and ctrl-v. Voila! However, if you don't have a middle mouse button, or you had mapped that button to do something else, you could use -emulate3buttons option which would require you to press both mouse buttons together to emulate the middle button. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Herbert Eppel Sent: Wed, September 28, 2005 12:43 PM To: cygwin-xfree@cygwin.com Subject: Re: Basic question 3 - system tray icon On 28.09.2005 17:20 UK Time, Soong, SylokeJ wrote: > No. He is telling you how to shut down with a single click > rather than my right clicking and selecting "Exit". > Which is answering your question 4.

Thanks, I'll try and get my head round that some time, but shouldn't it work with -clipboard in the startx command line?
