Cygwin xterm windows

from Stardock Forums

After launching Cygwin-X (which starts an X Server), and then lauching xterm windows, the window blanks out if I'm running WindowsBlinds.  This seems to occur if I start WindowsBlinds first or afterwards.  Has anyone else experienced this?  Is this a known issue?

I'm using PuTTy now, and it seems to be fine (native Windows windows, so to speak), though I haven't tried an X Window called from the PuTTy xterm while running WindowsBlinds yet.

Thoughts?

Have never heard of or tried those probrams.  I think your best bet for getting an answer it to email [email protected].

Put a windowblinds exclusion on cygwin-X apps.

Good idea!  I'll post if that works...

Philly0381: Cygwin is basically a UNIX emulator for Windows.  Cygwin-X is an X-Windows server for Cygwin.  X-Windows is the fundamental framework used by most UNIX GUIs, including (among others) KDE and GNOME.  Individual client applications on a UNIX machine can call an X-Windows server on a Windows machine, effectively allowing a Windows user to remotely access UNIX, but still use a GUI (at least for those applications).
