I've probably missed a prior discussion, but if "startxwin.exe" doesn't set up the Cygwin environment, then what good is it? I thought that this was about the only advantage that "startxwin.bat" had over "startx". Considering that "startx" also sets up the .Xauthority file and startxwin.exe doesn't, I see absolutely no reason to use startxwin.exe instead of startx. -- 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/
