* [ANNOUNCEMENT] Updated: xorg-server-1.19.0-1 (TEST) @ 2016-11-18 15:57 Jon Turney 2016-11-18 19:21 ` Tim Prince 2016-12-11 13:57 ` Jon Turney 0 siblings, 2 replies; 11+ messages in thread From: Jon Turney @ 2016-11-18 15:57 UTC (permalink / raw) To: cygwin The following packages have been updated in the Cygwin distribution: *** xorg-server-*1.19.0-1 These packages contain XWin and the other X.Org X11 servers. This is the first release of the xserver 1.19 series. It is currently available as a test release, and will be made stable in a few weeks, if no major regressions are reported. Please try test releases and report problems to the Cygwin mailing list. Testing helps ensure good releases! In addition to upstream fixes and improvements [1][2][3][4], the following cygwin-specific changes have been made since 1.18.4-1: * Fix a performance regression seen with some workloads/video drivers and -compositewm (the default) in multiwindow mode * The smartscheduler is now on by default, since the Cygwin bugs which caused problems with it were fixed long ago. It can be disabled with -dumbSched * Remove the build-time requirement for windowswmproto for the removed experimental -mwextwm mode * Update the X.Org icon, generated from the X.Org logo SVG.

After several more attempts, from the Start Menu Xterm shortcut, I get an icon on the task bar which lasts long enough to click on and open an Xterm. So it looks like it's basically working.

I don't think we're talking about the same icon. The one I referred to is a black C superimposed over a green X, and it has many options to start programs, including XTerm (under System Tools). It's started by the xwin-xdg-icon program, which in turn is started by /etc/X11/xinit/startxwinrc (unless you have a ~/.startxwinrc that overrides it). Does 'ps' show that xwin-xdg-icon is running?

Sorry, but I'm confused now. When you say "xdg icon", are you talking about the one I described? Your previous message said you've never seen that icon.
