Okay but what am I looking for? Is it an application, a process, a
service or a "task" (in Windows terms)? What name am I looking for?
I've tried the Task Manager, MSCONFIG and Display Running Tasks but
nothing obvious jumps out at me. According to cygcheck -c I have
packages xorg-cf-files, xorg-docs, xorg-scripts, xorg-server,
xorg-server-dmx, xorg-sgml-doctools, xorg-util-macros and
xorg-x11-bin-dlls installed and up to date. I also have emacs,
emacs-el, emacs-ocaml and emacs-X11 and bash, bash-completion and bashdb
installed and up to date.
You also mentioned the default behaviour. What would that be? Can you
point me to something that I can read to learn about the default
behaviour please?
Thanks in advance
