I happened to be looking at
http://x.cygwin.com/docs/faq/cygwin-x-faq.html and I noticed some
oddities which might call for fixing. This is the only place I could
find for reporting such issues, though of course it's entirely possible
I missed something; FAQ item 1.9 makes me think there should be
somewhere better, but on reading http://cygwin.com/lists.html (as
linked to by the FAQ), it's not clear what it would be.
In FAQ item 1.9, I find
Cygwin/X has a mailing list, namely, cygwin@cygwin.com. [...]
Tip: Post your X-related inquires to cygwin@cygwin.com only; do
not post nor cross post your inquires to the cygwin@cygwin.com
mailing list. [...]
Surely those list addresses shouldn't _all_ be the same...?
While less important, I also find
12.8. Isn't "XWin" trademarked by StarNet Communications?
No. A quick search at the United States Patent and Trademark Office
for "XWin" [...]
The question does not specify a jurisdiction; that XWin is not a
relevant trademark in the USA does not mean it's not elsewhere. (While
I'm not aware of any where it is, I haven't gone looking. I'm mostly
just trying to counter the "the USA is the whole world" tendency I see
creeping in here as it already has far too many other places.)
