I could add XWin: http://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=9763 And once again, using mintty is a solution. Since mintty is the solution to so many of these scenarios, shouldn't we make it the default terminal (IOW add mintty to Base and replace the Cygwin.bat shortcut with mintty's)? The status quo just encourages people to use a deficient terminal without any idea that a better one exists.
