First of all, let me say how much I like xwin-xdg-menu. Thumbs up to Jon Turney, and to all the other developers like Yaakov Selkowitz who work on related components/package for Cygwin/X. Anyway, when I do the following: $ xinit -- -multiwindow >From the xterm that automatically launches: $ xwin-xdg-menu XDG Menu > View logfile I then see this: executing 'xterm -title '/dev/pty1' -e less +F /dev/pty1', pid 1292 (pid 1292 stderr) Warning: Missing charsets in String to FontSet conversion (pid 1292 stderr) Warning: Unable to load any usable fontset pid 1292 exited with status 0 (The xterm window flashes briefly, and then disappears.) Is /dev/pty1 the log file we should be trying to open? I am not even sure what log file should be opened. Personally, I would have assumed it is the X Server's log file. I see that this is the relevant code: https://github.com/jon-turney/xwin-xdg-menu/blob/51ae0ec7f225b8257ba64ce5318b857bf9ce8450/execute.c#L236 -Mike -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
