Hi
I updated my Cywin installation on the 21st or 22nd of July 2017. I run
32-bit Cygwin/X on 64-bit Win 7 Pro. If I launch the Cygwin Xwin Server
I get the icon at the very top middle of the screen and can then go into
the icons menu and right click on the Cygwin icon and get a list of
categories of applications to run and apparently launch because if I try
to launch some and wait long enough and right click on the
aforementioned icon and select quit it says there are N apps running and
do I want to close them. The problem is that anything I launch through
the icons menu doesn't display anywhere and in particular doesn't appear
in the task bar. I have read the FAQ and UG but can't find what I'm
looking for. It definitely seems to me that the behaviour has changed
since before I updated.
Yes, there was a change about two years ago. I suspect you have a
.startxwinrc that uses fbpanel instead of xwin-xdg-menu. See
