Well, *I* think they ought to be created by the X system. Currently, you kinda get them by default IF you install any of the X-related packages, because unlike rxvt, those other package directly incorporate, eg. /etc/X11/app-defaults/XTerm so when the xterm-242-1.tar.bz2 package is unpacked: viola! you have /etc/X11/app-defaults/ But, none of those packages SHOULD be doing it that way. They SHOULD be doing it the rxvt way, where the "default defaults" are installed into /etc/defaults/etc/X11/app-defaults/ and a postinstall script copies the file from there into /etc/X11/app-defaults/ if and only if the current copy has not been changed from the previous /etc/default/ version. (That is, *preserve user customizations*). None of the other packages do that. That having been said...rxvt is stealing a march by assuming /etc/X11/app-defaults/ exists. It's not clear -- if all the other packages did it the "rxvt way" -- WHO exactly should be responsible for creating the directory. I'll enhance the rxvt postinstall script to handle that in a future release. -- Chuck -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
