Dear Marco:

So, are you saying that not starting xterm is by design?

> http://x.cygwin.com/docs/man1/startxwin.1.html

The manpage above is a bit outdated; creating a .startxwinrc with

xrdb -load $HOME/.Xresources
xbiff -geometry -430+5 &
oclock -geometry 75x75-0-0 &
xload -geometry -80-0 &
xterm -geometry +0+60 -ls &
xterm -geometry +0-100 &
xconsole -geometry -0+0 -fn 5x7 &
exec fbpanel -profile multiwindow

and running startxwin from the text console results in

winDeinitMultiWindowWM - Noting shutdown in progress
(II) Server terminated successfully (0). Closing log file.

Adding one more hyphen in front of -profile leads to two xterm windows. However, there are lots of other errors on the console. Said that, what would be an appropriate .startxwinrc or /etc/X11/xinit/startxwinrc for getting one (not two) xterm? Better, one uxterm?

Best,

Jaakov.
