You're right.

Re: cx-logos
Thanks for taking the time to put these together; I even have a suggestion! I agree that a plain "CX" doesn't really convey Cygwin/XFree86; but the Cygwin logo ( http://sources.redhat.com/cygwin/cygwin-icon.gif ) combined with the X logo ( generally available in /usr/X11R6/include/X11/bitmaps/xlogo64 ) _would_ be clear. -nik On Fri, Apr 05, 2002 at 11:34:32AM +, David Starks-Browning wrote: > On Thursday 4 Apr 02, Saurabh Nupur writes: > > hello all, > > > > i made some logos. > > > > http://www.geocities.com/nupursarpal/logo_2.jpg > > http://www.geocities.com/nupursarpal/logo_3.jpg > > http://www.geocities.com/nupursarpal/logo_4.jpg > > http://www.geocities.com/nupursarpal/logo_1.jpg > > > > suggestions and comments are welcome > > Personally, I don't find that "CX" conveys "Cygwin/XFree86" very > well.

Re: "X connection to 127.0. ...explicit kill..."
I finally got a chance to check out the config on my home machine. I don't have /etc/hosts, either; what I did do was modify startxwin.bat (and startxwin.sh) to set DISPLAY to :0.0 - try that. -nik On Tue, Mar 26, 2002 at 07:18:29PM -0500, Ed Conrad wrote: > > Nikolaus Bates-Haus wrote: > > > I ran into something like this setting up my home machine, to which I > > don't have access right now. > > It ended up being an issue with host / DISPLAY configuration; check out > > your /etc/hosts and make sure the entries make sense.

Re: "X connection to 127.0. ...explicit kill..."
I ran into something like this setting up my home machine, to which I don't have access right now. It ended up being an issue with host / DISPLAY configuration; check out your /etc/hosts and make sure the entries make sense. I remember I had to do something with localhost and/or my chosen hostname, and 127.0.0.1, to get it to work. I think that what's happening is that XWin.exe starts, but all clients fail to connect, so it just shuts down immediately. I ended up setting my DISPLAY to something other than the default, as well (try setting your DISPLAY to be just ":0" rather than "127.0.0.1:0") -nik On Tue, Mar 26, 2002 at 08:01:58AM -0500, Ed Conrad wrote: > Why don't you please re-read the original message.

In XFree, WIN-E to start Windows Exporer causes taskbar hang
I didn't see anything about this in the mailing list archives: Cygwin/XFree 4.2.0 (and prior versions) Cygwin DLL 1.3.9 (and prior versions) When I try to open a Windows Explorer using the Win-E keyboard shortcut (Windows key, E), the explorer window doesn't open and the taskbar freezes. I can still Alt-TAB between applications, and start things from the desktop, but can't do a thing with the taskbar. After a long time (1/2 hour to an hour; not sure if it's the length of time or me doing something) Explorer will start, and the taskbar will come back. This ONLY happens when Cygwin has keyboard focus. It only happens when using the keyboard shortcut; starting from the start menu, desktop or existing window doesn't do it. Once it happens, I can still start Windows Explorer from the desktop. Don't know about other keyboard shortcuts. -nik
