I pinned the Cygwin/X "XWin Server" Start Menu item to the taskbar. When I click that, I get "Cygwin/X Server 0:0" and "X applications menu on :0" icons in the systray. I set up to have a mintty window launched, near the end of ~/.startxwinrc, copied from /etc/X11/xinit/startxwinrc, which now ends: if [ -x /usr/bin/x-terminal-emulator ] ; then /usr/bin/mintty - & fi exec /usr/bin/xwin-xdg-menu fi So that control still ends up in the XDG menu. As mintty does not take normal XTerm options, it is run explicitly. -- Take care.
