Hi,
in in a fresh installation of Cygwin on my new XP PC, I noticed that
xcalc (and other X apps) didn't work properly. I have had this problem
some time ago: within the directory /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/app-defaults has
been created a link to /etc/X11/app-defaults (where the app-defaults of
many applications are).
So while in /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/app-defaults there are on the
app-defaults of Mwm all the other app-defaults are in
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/app-defaults/app-defaults and the various X apps
(e.g. xcalc) can't find them.
Last time I thought that this problem was my fault in that I installed
X, lessTiff, WindowMaker as separate packages before they were included
in setup and then, when they become available in setup, I replaced them
with the setup versions. So I thought some re-packaging would have
caused that problem and simply replaced /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/app-defaults
with a link to /etc/X11/app-defaults.
Now, with a fresh Cygwin installation, I have the some problem (that I
will solve in the same way) so I think there is some problem with the
installation of some X package.
Ciao,
Danilo Turina
