I tried Evolution, but it wasn't obvious how to get it going and I wasn't
patient. It also loaded lots of extra stuff, including gamin which runs
gam_server (IIRC) like a service. It was eating CPU on occasion, and I couldn't
figure out how to stop it, and that made updating CYGWIN difficult if
Whoo hoo!
In the world of windows I use only Outlook (frequently) and The Gimp
(occasionally). Having The Gimp under CYGWIN remove all the tiny bits of
clumsiness that I have now.
Thanks. (Now to go to work on Outlook.)

All,
On my last cygwin update I noticed that I have /usr/libexec/gam_server.exe
running.
I learned this because the install script could not kill it (and neither could
I!).
It was using about 1 sec/sec of CPU.
With a little investigation I learned that
it's part of GNOME's "file alternation

The announcement below (re: pretest of emacs 24.4) is starting to confuse me.
When I run
cygcheck -c emacs emacs-X11 emacs-w32 emacs-el
I get
Cygwin Package Information
Package VersionStatus
emacs24.3.93-1 OK
emacs-el 24.3.

Today is the first day I've gotten any specific information about any of these
core dumps. (Usually it's just "Aborted (core dum
