I find mintty very useful. I can bring it up as a standalone window or I can run run additional windows from xterm running under X. If I do the latter then mintty inherits the environment from the xterm window I'm running, e.g., including additional path entries set in ~/.tcshrc, etc.
However, if I run mintty from my xterm window I have some problems. For example, say I have open xterm (from startxwin.csh) with xterm +tb -j -sb -geometry 80x84-6+0 & this sets LINES set to 84. If I have set up .minttyrc with Rows=100 then after I go to my mintty window and back to my xterm, my xterm window is messed up, e.g., top rows under `less` are off the screen. There is no such problem, when running xterm, if I open an additional mintty window as a Windows shortcut since it seems to open independently -- without taking on the environment variables in my xterm window. I guess it probably would increase the minimal nature of mintty to restore such environment variables when leaving a mintty window? Thanks.
