A bit more detail, from pstree -Aap: |-sh,2027 /usr/bin/startxwin | `-xinit,2058 /home/ht/.startxwinrc -- /usr/bin/XWin :0 -multiwindow -auth ... | |-XWin,2059 :0 -multiwindow -auth /home/ht/.serverauth.2027 | `-sh,2065 >> My .startxwinrc is a copy of /etc/X11/xinit/startxwinrc with addition of the >> minnty terminal startup in bg before leaving xwin-xdg-menu running in fg. Mine was just a two-liner, changing it to none or /etc/X11/xint/startxwinrc has no effect. Aha. A similar problem occurs with xemacs when launched from a shortcut with command H:\C64\bin\run.exe -p /home/ht/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin /usr/local/bin/xemacs-21.5-b34.exe The common denominator is clearer run.exe -- does that give anyone a useful clue? ht -- Henry S.
