Re: Questions regarding windows 7 installation

[Jerry Lowry <jlowry at edt dot com>]

thanks Jason,  I have already done that, but even after commenting out 
the exec xterm and running the xterm process from the drop down menu I 
get two X windows.  One that starts and stays blank and then the actual 
Xterm window which has a white background.

I don't mind running the Xterm automatically, it's the spurious cygwin 
windows that start and stay up.  Just clutters up the desktop and you 
can't tell which is the usable Xterm.
