WindowMaker and XFree86

[vdibartolo at smallworld dot com]

All,

	I recently compiled WindowMaker 0.64.0 on my Windows NT 4.0 SP5 box using CygWin 1.3.1 and XFree86 4.03.  I'm wondering if anyone has a similar setup as I have and is experiencing a couple of annoying glitches and some inoperability.  To save time, here's a short list of things:

	1.  First and foremost, gcc crashed my Win98 machine when I tried to compile the libPropList required for WindowMaker, which is why I'm only using it on Winnt
	2.  WindowMaker doesn't consistently load the first time I run startxwin.bat.  I usually have to execute startxwin.bat 2 times for it to "stick" (i.e. load).  See the bottom of the email for the relevant lines in my startxwin.bat file.
	3.  When WindowMaker does come up, I get the following message: "wmsetbg warning: could not open domain file /home/administrator/GNUstep/Defaults/WindowMaker".  This file exists and is readable (with proper case on each path element).
	4.  Any changes I make to my environment (e.g. adding workspaces, renaming them, adding docked icons) are saved to /home/adminstrator/GNUstep/Defaults/WMstate when I save them, but are not loaded when I restart WindowMaker for another session later.  This and the above point (#3) seem to indicate that WindowMaker is having problems resolving the path to "/home" being that the filesystem is Windows and the path is more like "E:\cygwin\home".  Sound likely?
	5.  Small but annoying - the "xterm" item on the WindowMaker right-click menu launches an xterm just file but I cannot rid myself of the xterm in any way other than killing it.  This behavior is not shared by the rxvt term.  If I dock an icon that launches xterm or otherwise open an xterm this problem goes away.

	Any help on any of these would be appreciated.  I am assuming that these errors are particular to WindowMaker in CygWin otherwise I would have posted to a WindowMaker-specific list.  Thanks again.
