A problem, I notice with xterm's, I notice that if I start 'xterm&', then any control-c I press in the base window (running bash) is sent to all xterm children (but not grandchildren). Control-c _in_ an xterm seems to only be sent to the window one typed control-c into (as would be normally expected).
Note that ^c pressed in a different 'bash' window doesn't have this effect -- it is only a parent running bash that runs an xterm. I tried io redirection before xterm (xterm </dev/null 2>&1 >/dev/null&), to no effect. When I run xterm I do get some warnings: Warning: locale not supported by C library, locale unchanged Warning: locale not supported by Xlib, locale set to C Warning: X locale modifiers not supported, using default Failed to open input method I'm wondering if it is related to the "DISPLAY" env var being set -- like in the ssh case, somehow setting DISPLAY interferes with local controls, though 'vi[m]' has no problem intercepting control-c normally. -linda -- 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/
