I had to use /usr/X11R6/bin/startxwin.bat or /usr/X11R6/bin/startxwin.sh. I can't remember which one worked the best. I changed startxwin.bat to have a "run wmaker" and startxwin.sh to "wmaker &" to run WindowMaker instead of twm. I can't test it right now because the last time I updated cygwin it broke something and now it crashes when I try to start Xwindows. And I haven't had time to chase the problem. -Scott On Tue, 8 Apr 2003, Wassel, Saarah wrote: > Hi its me again. I had another question.
