I do not know if the following is the correct behaviour. I observe this:
click on Cygwin.bat (i.e. the bash shell in DOS window) $ startx & (i.e. starting XWin and xterm) Now if I start something in xterm, e.g. 'tar -xzvf foo.tar.gz', and in bash shell (Cygwin.bat) some other thing, then pressing CTRL-C in bash shell (Cygwin.bat) stops not only its process but also that in xterm. I do not remember to have oberved this before, but it could be that I have not take care of it before. The system is W2K SP4 with all Cygwin pkgs installed of which the test pkgs are: snapshot 20060418 12:31:05 (uname) Test packages: coreutils-5.94-5 emacs-21.3.50-2 findutils-4.3.0-1 lesstif-0.94.4-1 tar-1.15.90-1 xorg*-6.8.99.901-1 (19 pkgs) NO services running.
