All my "work" work is X-based, I'm super-comfortable with the interface, for example, using the mouse for copy/paste which is a little more awkward in mintty.

They're not in my .startxwinrc -- Jim Reisert AD1C, , http://www.ad1c.us -- 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/
