but's that's the issue - rxvt *does* do this correctly. As does strace. When you get a
'can't load X server' or other file error, it comes to the console not to a popup.
Why can't cygwin mimic the rxvt behaviour, so each client app (gcc for example) gets
it for free rather than needing to re-invent it?
