I made it run "startxwin.bat" on startup. I'm now setting up the latest Cygwin on a Win7 laptop. The FAQ is saying to not use the "startxwin.bat" file (as it doesn't exist anymore), and use the exe file. However, it also says to not start it directly from Windows. It needs to be started from a login shell. What is the proper way to start the Xwin server at Windows startup? I didn't see this in the FAQ, and I didn't find any obvious answers in searches. -- 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/
