Cygwin xterm windows

After launching Cygwin-X (which starts an X Server), and then lauching xterm windows, the window blanks out if I'm running WindowsBlinds. This seems to occur if I start WindowsBlinds first or afterwards. Has anyone else experienced this? Is this a known issue?

I'm using PuTTy now, and it seems to be fine (native Windows windows, so to speak), though I haven't tried an X Window called from the PuTTy xterm while running WindowsBlinds yet.

Thoughts?

Have never heard of or tried those probrams. I think your best bet for getting an answer it to email support@stardock.com.

Put a windowblinds exclusion on cygwin-X apps.

Good idea! I'll post if that works...

Philly0381: Cygwin is basically a UNIX emulator for Windows. Cygwin-X is an X-Windows server for Cygwin. X-Windows is the fundamental framework used by most UNIX GUIs, including (among others) KDE and GNOME. Individual client applications on a UNIX machine can call an X-Windows server on a Windows machine, effectively allowing a Windows user to remotely access UNIX, but still use a GUI (at least for those applications).

Yeah, I have that too, and had to exclude xterm from wb6 (on vista64). Oh dear classic isn't the best look
