Re: XWin.exe <--> xinit link
I think you are looking for $HOME/.xserverrc file. E.g. mine contains: #! /bin/sh X -nowinkill -nodecoration -lesspointer -rootless BTW, this all seems to be documented in xinit man page, as pointed out by Thomas. Pavel [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Thanks Thomas, The thing is, no matter what I put in those files, it either starts XWin with a border, or not at all. And when I do get it to start up, there is always a console mode window hanging around until I close it, and that closes XWin... *sigh* I AM trying to understand how all this stuff fits together, but I'm not having very much luck. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Thomas Chadwick Sent: Sunday, November 17, 2002 10:41 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: XWin.exe <--> xinit link RTFM!

Yet, xinit does start XWin, only it is starting it in windowed mode... Which is OK, but I'm just wondering WHERE does xinit get this from?

Re: XWin.exe <--> xinit link
Thanks for the detailed explanation. But I think you can avoid even that console for Xserver. I'm starting my Xserver using shortcut with this commandline: C:\cygwin\bin\cygstart.exe --hide -- bash --login -i -c startx This way, console window just flashes for a small moment and then it is hidden by cygstart (its '--hide' option). Pavel [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: xinit does 2 things - it launches the X server and then one or more X clients. If you want to customize the X client part (including the Window Manager), create/modify/edit the file $HOME/.xinitrc. If you want to customize the X server part, create/modify/edit the file $HOME/.xserverrc. Alternatively, you can pass command-line options to the X server by specifying them on xinit's command-line after "--". For example, "xinit -- -rootless" will cause XWin to startup in rootless mode. As for the console window, there is no way to avoid it being there until xinit completes, which doesn't happen until after the X server shuts down. This is really no different than if you use a Windows batchfile to fire up XWin and one or more local X clients. It's a "necessary evil".
Re: GNU emacs 21.2-12 is available
Harold, I'm able to make mouse wheel working by starting mouse-wheel-mode minor mode (M-x mouse-wheel-mode). I don't know why it is not on by default, but I think that minor tweaking of .emacs file could do it... Pavel [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Joe, Any ideas on why the X11 version of the eamcs package does not process the mouse wheel messages? I believe we are sending them as presses of the defacto standard buttons 5 and 6... but all you get when you scroll is just beeps. I know that the mouse wheel is a pain-in-the-___ in emacs, but are there any compil-time flags you can set to tell emacs that by default you want 5 and 6 to scroll up and down? If you don't have any ideas off the top of your head, don't worry about it, I will look at the emacs source later. Later probably means about 4 months, so I figured I would ask you first :) Harold -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Joe Buehler Sent: Friday, January 24, 2003 2:06 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: GNU emacs 21.2-12 is available GNU emacs 21.2-12 is available.

Re: Problems with emacs built against gtk3

To reproduce, install the emacs-X11 package and start emacs with the command `emacs&' in an xterm window. I cannot reproduce this. Does installing font-cantarell-otf help? Perhaps another font? I can reproduce it, in fact almost every gtk-enabled application spits that out. I tried stracing, and I think (but I'm not sure) that the warning appears after pango tries to load /usr/lib/pango/1.6.0/modules/pango-basic-fc.dll -> there is no /usr/lib/pango directory on my system, and it seems that no package in cygwin or ports repository provides it.
