I think you have to modify the shortcut (or run the command from a terminal) to add extra command-line options. >> BTW, what do you use x11 for?

Plus I love Xemacs. Eh? Mouse copy/paste in mintty is identical to xterm AFAIK... select = copy, middle button = paste. If you're in a mouse-using terminal app you have to hold down [shift] but that's the same in xterm, I think. Re xemacs: fair enough. I mostly stick with emacs + xt-mouse because of slow/unreliable network connections to the servers I do most of my work on.
