Interesting, I'm using the global startxwinrc and my xinit package is already 1.3.4-9 yet fbpanel is still in there and there's no mention of xwin-xdg-menu in it yet I do have xwin-xdg-menu installed (20150708-1). I do not have a custom startxwinrc in my home directory. -- 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
