If I remember correctly, we were going to go with just "Cygwin" on the desktop. I'll have a proper look later. > Apart from that, why is mintty still not in the "Base" category? > Just laziness on our side? I kept on putting it off because there was always that one more bug to fix. No excuses now that I've bumped it to 1.0. >=C2=A0Some really important reason? My one remaining concern is the postinstall script, which would create the "Cygwin/mintty" start menu entry for every Cygwin user, whether they want it or not. Deleting it wouldn't help either, as it would come back at the next mintty update. Andy
