No surprise here. Windows applications don't use X11, so they don't look for DISPLAY. > Now if I connect to terminal server "win_ts" from a unix xterm - I am > still on the same terminal server - and try to run "calc", it hangs, but > running something like xcalc works fine. I'm not sure what you mean by "unix xterm". If that means connecting from a different system, then you can't get calc because calc can't display itself on a X11 Server. If you mean starting calc from cygwins xterm on the same server, as your hint suggests, then you probably run into specific problems a terminal server has (finding the right session). Starting a windows app from cygwin xterm works here without problems. Does calc come up in the tasklist? -- 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/
