Thanks for you reply René.  I think I going to have to switch from
digest to getting every email.  I see you replied right away but I
just got the digest today.

Before I'd see a fully functional gnome-terminal, the shell, but no
prompt.  The menus and everything else would work as expected.

Now I see just a window but the menu doesn't even show up.  Worse,
once I run gnome-terminal, I cannot kill it and XWin hangs trying to
fork new xterm from the XWin menu.  I have to use the Windows task
manager to kill all the XWin stuff and then restart XWin again.  IOW,
after gnome-terminal is up and hung, if I right click the X to start
more xterms, they don't show up and ps -ef in cygwin shows one XWin
process for every time I try to start a new local xterm.

At this point in time, I'd just like to find somebody that is using a
gnome-terminal in cygwin so I can tell if it's my environment or if
the problem is the package itself.  I sent an email to Yaakov but I
guess he didn't see in the sea of emails he probably gets every day.
