Hi!
This is probably in the docs but I fail to see it. That's the apology out
the way now the question.
Can the cygwin X server be invoked without an on screen bulletin and then
an icon clicked which executes an application script to make use of the
Xserver? If yes how?
i.e.
start X server without bulletin, just the "I am live" icon.
Click application icon -> runs script that initiates an X application.
etc for other application icons.
Thanks in anticipation.
Kind regards,
Darryl Scott

Darryl,
Just start the Cygwin/X X Server (XWin.exe) in multi-window mode, which
has been the default in startxwin.bat for months. Take a look at
startxwin.bat, then feel free to REM out the line that starts an xterm
if you do not want it to do this. You can install the XFree86-bin-icons
package from Cygwin's setup.exe to get links to programs in your start
menu. You can also put an .XWinrc file in your home directory and use
it to create application shortcuts on the tray icon menu for Cygwin/X.
Here is an example .XWinrc file that you can put in your home directory
(be sure to rename it to .XWinrc):

Hope that helps,
Harold
