I'm sorry if there's an easy solution that I haven't found yet, but I'm wondering if anyone else is experiencing the same problem with Cygwin/X's xterm as I am. xterm -tn doesn't seem to properly set up the TERM variable.
For example: xterm -tn xterm-16color -e bash -c 'echo TERM=$TERM; read x' pops up a Cygwin/X xterm window containing TERM=xterm Whereas rxvt -tn xterm-16color -e bash -c 'echo TERM=$TERM; read x' pops up a Cygwin/X rxvt window containing TERM=xterm-16color Can anyone else confirm this behavior, or offer a suggestion on how to deal with this behavior? I want to use xterm, since I couldn't get the same level of unicode support in rxvt cygwin native, rxvt cygwin x unicode, or rxvt cygwin. I also don't want to explicitly set TERM in one of my dot files, since I use the same ones on many computers. Thanks in advance for any help! ~Matt Wozniski PS - I'd attach the output of 'cyginfo -s -v -r', but I don't have access to the computer running cygwin at the moment; I'm hoping to have a fix or work-around by the next time I need to use that work computer. ;) -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
