You put up with it?? Jeeze Harold, how does this discussion not
relate to Cygwin/XFree? The last I heard, they were discussing
making it possible to display native windows apps inside Cygwin/XFree
and use Cygwin/XFree as a server interface to windows applications.
The whole point of it was trying to leverage Cygwin/XFree as a
replacement fro explorer. Even Alexander, who is one of the core
developers, is discussing it. Perhaps you've been working too hard,
because it seems you've missed the point. I think you need a
vacation.
Cheers,
Nicholas
