Hide fbpanel icon

Hide fbpanel icon

[AC]

I just updated my cygwin install with X at 1.17.2-2 and now the small
panel icon shows up in the upper left of my screen with no task bar icon
and now way to remove it.  Prior to the upgrade I was able to close that
button (by right clicking the "panel" entry in the Windows task bar
which left the x server running.

Is there a way to get rid of that icon?  I only ever use the system tray
icon and the fbpanel icon is always in the way of desktop icons.  I
can't seem to move it anywhere either.

If I comment out fbpanel in startxwinrc then nothing loads (I don't
normally have an xterm come up, I just want the server running and waiting).

If your /etc/X11/xinit/startxwinrc mentions fbpanel, you don't have the 
latest version (see [1]), so maybe try updating or reinstalling the 
xinit package?

If you have a custom ~/.startxwinrc, then base it on the current 
/etc/X11/xinit/startxwinrc and end it with 'exec 
/usr/bin/xwin-xdg-menu', or even 'exec sleep infinity' if you don't like 
that.

Interesting, I'm using the global startxwinrc and my xinit package is
already 1.3.4-9 yet fbpanel is still in there and there's no mention of
xwin-xdg-menu in it yet I do have xwin-xdg-menu installed (20150708-1).
 I do not have a custom startxwinrc in my home directory.

Then you must have customized your global startxwinrc, in which case it
would not have been replaced when upgrading to 1.3.4-9.  Replacing it
with the copy under /etc/defaults should fix this.

Yes, it is fixed.  It had been quite some time since I edited the file.
 I'm more accustomed to package managers warning me about customized
files when they detect them.

Cygwin's setup routine could use some love, there's no denying of that.

In that case, though, it's not setup.  The check of whether the defaults
can be replaced because the files have not been edited is in the
preremove scripts.
