It appears to be the run utility. It's actually the startup code from either windows or cygwin. It strips until the first space and leaves us with the remaining parts :( I've prepared new packages for X-startup-scripts which should appear on the mirrors shortly. bye ago -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.gotti.org ICQ: 126018723

I even looked in the PATH... Is the entry in the shortcut broken? Or is it the run utility. The shortcut should read "C:\Program Files\cygwin\usr\X11R6\bin\run.exe" -p /usr/X11R6/bin xcalc -display 127.0.0.1:0.0 bye ago NP: Terminal Choice - House of Evil -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.gotti.org ICQ: 126018723
Cygwin-X shortcuts and installation to "c:\Program Files\cygwin"
I have installed cygwin, plus Cygwin-X, to c:\progra~1\cygwin. I have used it that way for years. However, I have noticed that when I try to run an X-Windows program using the pre-defined shortcuts in the start menu, such as xcalc or bitmap, that they will not run. When I look at the properties of the program I get this error message with run.exe: Error: Couldn't find Files\cygwin\usr\X11R6\bin\run.exe" -p /usr/X11R6/bin xcalc -display 127.0.0.1:0.0 anywhere. I even looked in the PATH... It appears that the shortcut uses "C:\Program Files" in it and the space is causing problems. I have modified the startxwin.bat and startxwin.sh scripts so that the proper directory is being used but that did not make a difference. I can run these programs from the command line without any problems. It just appears that the run command needs to take into account that it might reside in a directory with spaces in it.
