This is noted in [1] as a change in 1.18.0-1: 'Remove the "Applications" submenu from the default XWinrc for new installations, as redundant to xwin-xdg-menu.' The X applications menu is supposed to be an improvement, as the X applications menu automatically lists installed X applications, rather than a manually edited fixed list. If you really want to restore the previous behaviour, you can copy /etc/X11/system.Xwinrc to ~/.XWinrc and change it as follows: --- system.XWinrc.old 2016-04-08 14:19:23.667013700 +0100 +++ system.XWinrc 2016-04-08 14:20:05.839995700 +0100 @@ -81,17 +81,17 @@ // own configuration file. // Make some menus... -# menu apps { -# xterm exec "xterm" -# "Emacs" exec "emacs" -# notepad exec notepad -# xload exec "xload -display %display%" # Comment -# } + menu apps { + xterm exec "xterm" + "Emacs" exec "emacs" + notepad exec notepad + xload exec "xload -display %display%" # Comment + } menu root { -// "Applications" menu apps + "Applications" menu apps // Comments fit here, too... -// SEPARATOR + SEPARATOR [1] https://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin-announce/2015-11/msg00048.html [2] http://x.cygwin.com/docs/ug/using-local-apps.html -- Jon TURNEY Volunteer Cygwin/X X Server maintainer -- 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
