You say "restore", but I've never seen this behaviour in rxvt. Did it=20 only make a transient appearance? Alt-Space is used in emacs for "just-one-space" which I use frequently. I can count on the fingers of zero hands the number of times I've ever=20 wanted to summon the window menu using the keyboard from within rxvt. So, before I update and regret it, can this pandering to a Windows=20 convention at the expense of *nix compatibility be disabled? If not,=20 I consider this to be a major regression, effectively rendering rxvt=20 useless for me. Cygwin is fundamentally about facilitating doing things the *nix way=20 in a hostile Windows environment, not about compromising *nix=20 applications in order to make them more friendly for Windows users.
