At least GNOME-Openbox, KDE-Openbox, Plasma, and MATE give me a black screen and no taskbar/menu, pop-up menu with right-click on background, etc., but I can start applications on them if I open a Cygwin prompt through the 'Cygwin64 Terminal' icon by doing (for example) "export DISPLAY=:0.0 ; xterm". However, the LXDE and Openbox desktops do give me the familiar things (like a start-menu, right-click on desktop pop-up menu). I have no idea where to even begin with troubleshooting the issue (of getting KDE or GNOME working). Could it be as simple as some packages that have not been installed ? I installed these desktops by selecting the packages listed on the Cygwin/X website during the overall Cygwin installation (setup-x86_64.exe). Any and all help is appreciated. - Maarten On Wed, Apr 22, 2020 at 2:38 PM Maarten Hoes wrote: > Hi, > > > When I run XLaunch and choose single window (or use the KDE 'Plasma' > shortcut), I get a black window (or grey, when also supplying '-retro'), > but I am not getting a desktop like when I do when I run KDE on Linux (KDE > taskbar/menu, pop-up menu with right-click on background, etc.).
