But I thought Corrina's point was that in some cases that X-Server does not have to be the Cygwin xorg-server (could be a different local X-Server, or even a remote X-Server). My question is: are there enough gitk users who would need/want the Cygwin xorg-server that it would be worth installing xorg-server by default when installing gitk, even though some gitk users may not actually need the Cygwin xorg-server? -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
