Certainly it is good feedback to know that the issue you were seeing is related to the new version of xinit. I would encourage you and others that see issues with the latest release to report the problems (as you have) and to try the solutions offered in the cygwin-xfree mailing list discussions from the last couple of months. If there are technical issues with those solutions, they need to be reported as well. Obviously, the key thing here is to figure out how to make this transition smoother, so the more useful feedback there is, the better. Downgrading may be a practical short-term solution to the problems you're having at the moment and that's fine. But the functionality in the latest release of the xinit corrects some long-standing Cygwin incompatibilities with startx, so there's no benefit to turning back as a strategy. -- Larry _____________________________________________________________________ A: Yes. > Q: Are you sure? >> A: Because it reverses the logical flow of conversation. >>> Q: Why is top posting annoying in email? -- 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/
