You should see it, or perhaps your PC is too fast. But prior to the rxvt windows, another windows opens that gets closed immediatly. That's a console-window like the ones you see, when you run cmd.exe So the console-hiding code is the code, that causes, that the console-window disappears and that inly the rxvt-window remains. --------------enig3D2526A97E1383585DF8961C Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" Content-Description: OpenPGP digital signature Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="signature.asc" -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.2.1 (Cygwin) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFEaLA27Ww7FjRBE4ARAqNpAJ4oKLuDjtlUgM+wUJUulB/5HuDRywCfZZhB 7ToTuw2uz1lBnu4cdWmfc1Q= =LMHt -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --------------enig3D2526A97E1383585DF8961C--
