XTerm icon updated? Re: Updated: xterm-283-1

2012-10-15 Thread Matt Seitz (matseitz)
Did this update change the XTerm icon that is displayed in the Windows task bar? Previously, when I launched the XWin Server, I would see the x.org logo (a black X with an orange ring) in the task bar as the icon for the XTerm window. Today, I see the XTerm icon for the XTerm window: a red X

I upgraded yesterday, and am similarly afflicted Thanks Patrick for a workaround, +200+200 works for me. Mario's suggestion of startxwin doesn't solve the problem because startxwin doesn't allow single root window mode. Another minimal way to demonstrate the problem: DISPLAY=:0; export

I've found a better workaround for this problem which works without needing to calculate the correct placement of a remedial xterm. Install the xsetroot package and run the following once the X server has started up: # Traditional X11 X-shaped cursor xsetroot -cursor_name X_cursor or # Normal

I've observed a problem whereby a single-screen X11 session started with startx or Xwin prevents a single xterm from being started in a usable state (no keyboard or mouse focus), but the problem goes away if the xterm is placed in a *particular area on the screen*. It's a new fresh Cygwin install
