Hello,
For some reason when I run startx the $HOME environment is not set.
This is used by sh's cd builtin which happens to be invoked by my
window manager's configuration script. But $HOME is set in plain
cygwin without XFree. It seems very odd to me that the value of the
environment variable is lost upon starting X with startxwin.bat.
How can this be fixed?
Thanks,
Neil
