I do get them... $ uname -a CYGWIN_NT-5.0 P450 1.3.22(0.78/3/2) 2003-03-18 09:20 i686 unknown unknown Cygwin $ ls -lR Cygwin-XFree86/ Cygwin-XFree86/: total 1 drwxrwxrwx+ 2 Hannu 0 Aug 16 20:57 Editors/ -rwxrwxrwx 1 Hannu 607 Aug 16 20:57 RXVT.lnk* drwxrwxrwx+ 2 Hannu 0 Aug 16 20:57 Tools/ Cygwin-XFree86/Editors: total 1 -rwxrwxrwx 1 Hannu 627 Aug 16 20:57 Emacs.lnk* Cygwin-XFree86/Tools: total 1 -rwxrwxrwx 1 Hannu 625 Aug 16 20:57 Python IDE.lnk* NOTE: NONE of the above shortcuts work for me I do not use emacs (slow and ugly monolith IMO + I don't know LISP) nor Python (never had a look, I use C/C++) and for rxvt I have a custom launch that I "built" myself. > At the end of Cygwin's setup > there are options as to whether or not to add Cygwin (and Cygwin only - > nothing about XFree86 mind you) to my Start menu and/or my desktop. I > simply uncheck them. So do I, but the last update of XFree gave me the above Start-menu stuff - independently of unchecking those. Re-installed XFree86-<ALL> to verify; they're still there. Some investigations... $ cygcheck -svr >c_svr.txt $ cat c_svr.txt | grep -i XFree >c_X.txt $ cat c_X.txt ... XFree86-bin-icons 4.3.0-2 ... $ cat /etc/postinstall/XFree86-bin-icons.sh.done #!/bin/sh # Run the script to create icons for XFree86 programs /usr/X11R6/bin/XFree86-bin-icons.sh So, this is the offending script: $ wc -l /usr/X11R6/bin/XFree86-bin-icons.sh 124 /usr/X11R6/bin/XFree86-bin-icons.sh $ head -2 /usr/X11R6/bin/XFree86-bin-icons.sh #! /bin/bash # Author: Brian Gallew < =email=cleared= > IMO this could check for the existance of "Start->Programs->Cygwin" and install the above shortcuts *UNDER* it - if it exists. i.e. some simple if [ -d ".../Cygwin" ] stuff - assuming one can detect where the Start-menu items reside...
