Greetings folks.
I have been fed-up with the default GUI shell on Cygwin, being used to the
great Terminal that comes with Mac OS X. Some googling around uncovered
that I should try "rxvt". My experience with rxvt is pretty good, after
reading online some basic configuration tips. But unfortunately I've come
across a deal-breaker and I'm not sure exactly what the culprit is. If I
run a java program from rxvt and control-C it (i.e. SIGINT) then it seems to
kill -9 it instead of letting the program catch the signal to terminate. I
found a quickie Java code sample online that anyone can quickly compile and
try for themselves: http://waelchatila.com/2006/01/13/1137143896635.html
save to CtrlC.java then type "javac CtrlC" then "java -cp . CtrlC" and
then hit ctrl-c. It works properly in Cygwin's default GUI shell but not
rxvt.
I *did* try searching the lists but didn't really find a resolution.
