Its no great fix, but it makes it look cleaner. As I have explained in http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2006-03/msg00385.html the problem is not the DOS windows (re-read: I say 'as it must') that quickly disappears but with that snapshot, released 20060314 19:25, XWin starts but xterm NOT. Regarding the run packages, startxwin.bat uses it: startxwin.bat: ------------------------------------------------------- ....
