Hi. I have just installed xinit on my vista laptop. When I typed in 'xinit' in
the cygwin console, I got a BIG BIG annoying X window which occupied all the
space of my desktop and cannot be resized. When I started other programs in
xterm, the new program just covered up the space where xterm used to be and I
couldn't switch back to the xterm windows.
How can I get a clean and separate xterm window? Thank you.
Use "startxwin.[bat|sh]", depending on your shell. If you're not familiar
with how Cygwin-X works, you could benefit by taking a look at the
documentation. There's a good walk-through of the install and basics
for getting started.
