Re: rxvt sets DISPLAY without X11

If rxvt is used from the login shell outside X11, without XWin running and /tmp/.X11-unix/ empty, it nevertheless sets DISPLAY to ':0'. This even happens if rxvt is started directly from a Windows shortcut:
C:\cygwin\bin\rxvt.exe -e /bin/bash --login Does this have a special meaning or is it a bug?


rxvt does not set DISPLAY for me. You must be setting it somewhere else (Windows environment variables perhaps?)

It does set it for me. And it is RXVT that sets it.

RXVT:
/home/rcampbell> set | grep DISPLAY
DISPLAY=:0
/home/rcampbell>


WINNT console: /home/rcampbell> set | grep DISPLAY /home/rcampbell>
