I tried SFU. Hated it. Going back to Cygwin. It requires Visual C++. I have that, but I don't like the fact that it really can't compile any of my software. Only Cygwin and Mingw can. Visual Studio Too, but that's because I want MP3 capabiilty on my songs. Robert

Im starting rxvt directly with a shortcut, then rxvt doesn't see the define in .bashrc until it has started, then bash is started and .bashrc is sourced, so that isn't the problem here. I also verified that DISPLAY wasn't defined as a global environment setting during SFU installation.
