For instance, I do $startxwin and the X window pops up. I then type in startlxde into the term and the autostart program appears in the same terminal. I had lynx browser selected as an autostart program for lxde. I don't know why lynx appears in the same window as the terminal. I can't get to a desktop in either xfce and lxde. I guess my question is just in general. I thought all I had to do is get x window working and then the lxde and xfce programs would take care of the rest. Maybe I am missing a requirement? thanks -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://x.cygwin.com/docs/ FAQ: http://x.cygwin.com/docs/faq/
