I start mintty, which starts bash. 2. I start an X server; DISPLAY=:0 3. I start an xterm on the local host, to $DISPLAY. 4. I switch to another desktop on the desktop manager. 5. I return to that window, and the xterm window vanishes. - the processes bound to the window are still running, as is the xterm itself. 6. I see no way to access or return the window to the desktop. * even winlister no longer can access the window handle. The window just hops off the deep end, never to be seen again, but everything connected with that window remains present. The only desktop manager it works with is the one that comes with Win10, but that lacks some features; notably, the ability to directly access a desktop with a keystroke. It is just not a viable alternative. WHY I AM SUBMITTING THIS AS A CYGWIN BUG: Because this happens as a result of using at least two different non-microsoft desktop managers, and ONLY X11-based applications are vanishing (xterm plus, as a test, xfd). --*greywolf; -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
