Re: menu does not come up - Running rootless with an external window manager

I notice at the website x.cygwin.com, there is a

Is that part of cgwin/X distribution or do I need to
purchase or download that from somewhere?

The Cygwin Setup program offers at least WindowMaker, fvwm, and openbox. No idea how well any of them work, but it's easy enough to test them out.


And what would I need to do to run an external window
manager?

You'd have to tell Xwin to run in rootless mode, and you'd have to run the appropriate external window manager, both in startxwin.bat.


These are all kind of basic questions; please look in manuals/FAQs/google.
