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.
That's hard to do with full generality, as we would need to know or
discover what -logfile option the server was given.
I see that this is the relevant code:
https://github.com/jon-turney/xwin-xdg-menu/blob/51ae0ec7f225b8257ba64ce5318b857bf9ce8450/execute.c#L236
I made a small update to today, which includes a change to remove the
"View logfile" menu item if stdout is a tty, which should avoid this
problem scenario.
