Thanks for your reply :) I think that I understood my error concerning the menus in RXVT:
In my .Xdefaults file, I set the '.path' resource to '$HOME'...when, rxvt read this file, the HOME and the USER variables don't seem to be still defined... so, rxvt cannot open my menu :( This explains also why, when I open rxvt from rxvt terminal, the menu is properly displayed: in this case, rxvt can use the current values of theses variables... Now, I set the '.path' resource to '/home/Philippe' and all seems ok... but, I think that it is not the best solution... How you resolved this problem ? a+ Philippe -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Bug reporting: http://cygwin.com/bugs.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
