* X Server no longer launches urxvtc-X @ 2010-08-20 14:54 Jay Goldman 2010-08-20 15:05 ` Charles Wilson 0 siblings, 1 reply; 7+ messages in thread From: Jay Goldman @ 2010-08-20 14:54 UTC (permalink / raw) To: cygwin-xfree I have the following menu items in my .XWinrc: Black EXEC "/bin/urxvtc-X -fg green -bg black -cr dodgerblue -g 80x40 -e /bin/bash -l -I" dodger EXEC "urxvtc-X -fg white -bg dodgerblue -cr blue -g 80x42 -e /bin/bash -l -I" Which have been working for months . Today I upgraded my cygwin install and all my menu items like the above no longer work. (as noted above I've tried both simply urxvtc-X and /bin/urxvtc-X If, however, I open up a command window using rxvt and then enter the above Line (by copy and paste) it works fine. Note, menu items like: Xterm exec "xterm" Work correctly, While menu items such as: Notepad exec "notepad" Do not. Does anyone know what has changed in cygwin and/or cygwinX that would cause this? Could this be related to the change to the windows working directory?

My first guess was that the urxvt daemon (urxvtd-X) was not running, so the client failed.

Ah. Here's the clue: launching a native win32 program fails. I bet this is related to the change in cygwin-1.7.6 where the cygwin "current working directory" and the win32 CWD are no longer automatically kept in sync (there are good reasons for this new behavior). This change has caused a number of problems, and it is not yet clear how they will be resolved.

Maybe that's related, but why? Does urxvtc-X start applications using CreateProcess? I'm asking because if they are started via fork/exec, the cwd for the child process gets set to the Cygwin cwd if the child is a native Win32 process, like Notepad. Cygwin executables OTOH shouldn't be affected, unless, again, they use native Win32 calls. And that also doesn't answer the question why starting /bin/urxvtc-X in the menu entries at the start of the mail are not working anymore, at least unless /bin/urxvtc-X is not a Cygwin application. > This change has caused a number of problems, and it is not yet clear > how they will be resolved.
