Re: rgb.txt not honored in X7?


Mike Ayers wrote all on one line:

From where? I believe this should be ~/.Xdefaults, but the nature of cygwin can make ~ an indefinite place for startup files. I set %HOME%, which becomes $HOME to what will be ~, but if I put

Case is signficant. Try "XTerm*toolBar: false"

.Xresources is xrdb -merge'd by /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc (i.e. if you use startx)

Yes, or in my case by ~/.xinitrc, which I copied from /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc and modified to taste. But on a recent update startx opened a root window instead of using the Windows windows - because I rely so heavily on that, I switched to startxwin.bat, which is why I now have problems with trhbe value of ~, as well as issues with cut anbd paste (which only seem to manifest when I have a Windows VNC client running..?). If you can tell me what I need to do to restore the old behavior of startx, I'll do that and I think my problems should go away (at least the ~ related ones...).

I suspect you used to have the -multiwindow option to the X server in your startx script somewhere (defaultserverargs?)


A few people have reported cut-and-paste problems with vncclient also running.

If you can spare the time to write a mail (in a new thread) with some clear reproduction steps, that would be most appreciated.
