The xwin-xdg-menu's terminal does not seem to pick up the environment variables I have set in my home directory when I use it's terminal to run a non-x program from /bin. i.e. I added Midnight Commander to the xwin-xdg-menu (using alacarte) seting /bin/mc as the executable and check the "run in terminal?" box. I prefer to use joe or nano as the editor in mc and have turned off mc's internal editor which picks up the editor in the "EDITOR" environment variable which I set in ~/.bashrc (I also tried setting it in ~/.bash_profile and ~/.profile). Mc comes up with vi (which is the default in mc if no "EDITOR" environment variable is set). I can run an XTerm from the xwin-xdg-menu and then launch mc from that and it honors the "EDITOR" environment variable.
By the way if I shell out (Ctrl-O) from mc and execute "env" the "EDITOR" variable shows up in the list. Weird. So where does xwin-xdg-menu's terminal get it's environment from? -- 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
