OK,
I'm not a cygwin expert, but use it to window into a solar machine for
editting.
I dislike the twm window manager as it doesn't let me change focus unless
you click on the top of the window bar, which often gets buried when I have
numerous windows open.
I've been trying to experiment with another window manager, KDE, but
haven't figured out where twm is started up.
I edited the ".xinitrc" file and the "startx.1" file without changing anything.
I usually start CYGWIN under Windows 2000 and then type "startx" to bring
up the window manager.
Can anyone give me some guidance on this?
