some things I wish to have
Now I always (I mean, most time) use -nodecoration mode
and I run xwin.exe directly (ie, with out using startxwin.bat or startx file)
So wish I could have an "autoexec" command in .XWinrc for openbox
(or another window manager)
This will be also useful for people using ?multiwindow mode, eg: to start xterm automatically
As -nodecoration mode also show "cygwin/xfree" on task bar
we could add "RootMenu" to controlbox menu of "cygwin/xfree"
And why not provide a copy of example.XWinrc at /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/system.XWinrc
when somebody install Cygwin/Xfree
Other (non so important) items in my wish list are.
1. disable (and/or hide) menu items depending on -multiwindow mode
(this is useful when there is autoexec,
we dont want to run a window manager program on -multiwindow mode)
2. a delay option for autoexec
3. show "RootMenu" when you do right click on rootwindow on -multiwindow
mode or there is no other window manager
4. A provision to specify "default" command line options
5. A GUI menu editor, that will make life easy for non geek
(or a better option is http://sourceforge.net/projects/xlauncher/ do the editor)
