Hi,

I am just wondering if anyone understands why XWin detaches/runs in
the background, when launched from Windows Command Prompt.

This being different to when run from Mintty.

Here's what happens with my Mintty invocation, which stays in the
foreground:

| $ XWin  :1 -nolisten tcp -ac -multiwindow
| Welcome to the XWin X Server
| Vendor: The Cygwin/X Project
| Release: 1.21.1.9
| OS: CYGWIN_NT-10.0-19045 pc-w10 3.4.10-1.x86_64 2023-11-29 12:12 UTC x86_64
| OS: Windows 10  [Windows NT 10.0 build 19045] x64
| Package: version 21.1.9-1 built 2023-12-10
|
| XWin was started with the following command line:
|
| XWin :1 -nolisten tcp -ac -multiwindow
|
| (II) xorg.conf is not supported
| (II) See http://x.cygwin.com/docs/faq/cygwin-x-faq.html for more information
| winUpdateDpi - primary monitor native DPI x 96 y 96
...
| winClipboardProc - xcb_connect () returned and successfully opened the display.


Here's what happens if I invoke tigervnc-server from Windows Command
Prompt, where it stays in the forgeground and I can terminate with
Ctrl-C:

| C:\Users\shaddy>C:\PublicData\sw.portapps\cygwin.x86_64\bin\Xvnc  :2 -nolisten tcp -ac -geometry 900x600 -SecurityTypes=None
|

|  vncext:      VNC extension running!
|  vncext:      Listening for VNC connections on all interface(s), port 5902
|  vncext:      created VNC server for screen 0
| MIT-SHM extension disabled due to lack of kernel support

But here's what happens when I run that first command line from
Windows Command Prompt. No output and the command returns, though the
server is running (including with an icon tray clickable):

| C:\Users\shaddy>C:\PublicData\sw.portapps\cygwin.x86_64\bin\XWin :1 -nolisten tcp -ac -multiwindow
|
| C:\Users\shaddy>

Is this special detection and handling in the main() (or whatever
entrypoint is applicable)?
