If that is the solution, you would need either to do "xrdb -merge ~/.Xdefaults" or to restart the x server in order to load the change.

I suspect that rewording the question is not going to get you any more guidance than before.

You are right in assessing my original question, but what I really care about is seeing different icons for different Windows. So, a way to make individual apps provide different icons to be shown by Windows would work for me too. Any guidance in this regard would be appreciated... Thanks!

In fact, emacs is a case in point. See: http://www.mi-nts.org/sl/icons.jpg How did that happen? When I start emacs, it uses the stock "X" icon. I hate to sound ignorant, but that is just "how it works" for me. I sort of agree with Larry Hall's comment that there isn't some configuration switch. If an app has no icon associated with it then how is Windows supposed to know what icon to display. I don't see those icons for all apps, obviously, and I don't know wy some work and some don't. I don't think it's always been that way. It seems to me that I started noticing those icons a year or so ago, before that there was another icon, I'm not so sure it was the X, on all windows. But somewhere along the line some update caused them to appear. I should also mention that most (I'm not 100% convinced it is all, but it might be) of the apps that DO display icons are running on an actual Linux box, and Cygwin is simply the X-server. So it sounds as if perhaps most of the apps in the Cygwin distro don't have icon resources built in. But obviously, the Cygwin X-server is capable of passing those icon images to Windoze. --McD -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://x.cygwin.com/docs/ FAQ: http://x.cygwin.com/docs/faq/
