I updated cygwin with the latest vte package and now instead of the pty error, gnome-terminal just hangs with no error.
I'm installing packages from kernel.org and from sunsite.dk. Is it possible that the mix of packages is the problem? The only gnome package I selected was the gnome-terminal package, which then selected its pre-requisites. Could it be that I missing something? I'm running with CYGWIN="server ntsec". Could it be that cygserver is not configured properly? Finally, is anybody running gnome-terminal on cygwin? I'd appreciate any hint or clue about this. Anything ...
