Ok, I'll not touch it in the meantime.
However, I don't quite get it. When you start a non-cygwin app from a X
app, shouldn't this start in an invisible console? CreateFile("CONIN$")
shouldn't create a console by itself at least. But why should setting
the console mode bits for input having anything to do with that?!?
Puzzled,
