Hi When closing XWin, I am experiencing relatively frequent post-termination orphaning (improper clean-up) of the shell opened within the xterm by the default startxwin.bat -- perhaps 1 in 3 times. I can reproduce this by opening X using startxwin.bat and soon closing it by clicking the XWin window's close button. About a third of the time after XWin has disappeared from the process list, bash remains until I manually terminate it. After a number of these orphaned processes accumulate unterminated, an xterm sometimes does not even appear after starting XWin. This occurs with both twm and fvwm2. There does not seem to be a consistent pattern -- sometimes this doesn't seem to happen unless I execute a command (eg xmodmap<ENTER>), but sometimes I don't even need to bring the focus on the xterm. This is on a newly-installed vanilla Cygwin and XFree86 package set downloaded yesterday. The only modification to startxwin.bat was to CYGWIN_ROOT. OS is Windows 2000 Professional Ver 5.0 Build 2195 Service Pack 3. Cheers Michael
