If I'm wrong, then I'm sure you've made the OP's day. :-) That's what I like about this list - there's always another way to interpret a question.

The fact that the GUI is still visible and being driven by the magic command line incantation is a non-issue for me :-) Ralph -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
