That is weird. I do not have a .Xdefaults in my home directory. I do have a .Xauthority-c file, which is empty. I downloaded it pretty recently, maybe we are working with different versions. On 9/5/07, Angelo Graziosi <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > In my $HOME/.Xdefaults I have: > > > ! -[

Thanks for the help with the font size. Now why does why does "%RUN% XWin -silent-dup-error -scrollbars" give me a terminal with no scroll bars? -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://
