Hi, I used to have the X server launched automatically when I start a new windows session (windows 7). I had the following shortcut in my Startup folder Target: C:\Softs\cygwin64\bin\run.exe /usr/bin/bash.exe -l -c /usr/bin/startxwin.exe Start in: C:\Softs\cygwin64\bin
Then I was able to start any X program from command line. That woked fine. By the way it seems that the DISPLAY environment variable was 127.0.0.1:0.0. This does not work anymore. I have found that in Cygwin-X menu, there is an Xwin Server shortcut with the following: Target: C:\Softs\cygwin64\bin\run.exe --quote /usr/bin/bash.exe -l -c "cd; /usr/bin/startxwin" Start in: C:\Softs\cygwin64 This seems to work differently: - the DISPLAY variable has to be just :0 to work from command line, - there is an additionnal tray icon with X menu with many applications. I do not want the menu and I would like to have again the X server started automatically without manually change the DISPLAY variable. How can I come back to the old behavior?
