After my last install of 1.7 software the X server does start and the
blank X windows do go away. But when I start an Xterm the blank X
windows stay around. Anyway to start Xterm with them going away once
started. Also, the Xterm that starts looks like a version from back in
the 80's. Has "Main Options", "VT Options", "VT Fonts" accross the
top. Any way to change this back to what I was running under 1.5?
thanks

man xterm
(command-line options)
+tb This option indicates that xterm should not set up a toolbar.
(resources)
toolBar (class ToolBar)
Specifies whether or not the toolbar should be displayed. The
default is "true."

Okay, I understand that, but I did not have to do this under 1.5. Did
they change the default in 1.7?
Any ideas as to why the blank X windows still continue to stick around
after the Xterm windows opens?
thanks

I've been seeing comments about this for a while - perhaps a year or so.
It might be a change in 1.7.
I use the toolbar configuration most of the time, but see my comment here
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=406169

no - one of the comments said that might be DOS windows (but I don't have
1.7 to see).

I think a settings file went away. To get rid of the toolbar, put "XTerm*toolBar: false" (note case) in ~/.Xdefaults. Note that ~ is defined by /etc/passwd, not HOME.
HTH,

Don't do that, read the release notes instead, or search the mail list archive (FAQ still needs an update):
C:\> C:\cygwin\bin\run.exe /usr/bin/bash.exe -l -c /usr/bin/startxwin.exe
HTH,
