Hi,
I have been using for long time cygwin on WinXP Prof 32bit and the
terminal I always use is the rxvt. Everything has always worked properly.
Now I will get a new PC and I am thinking to switch to windows 7 64bit
(the official release just released some days ago), so I am doing some
tests because the not-correct-functionality of cygwin and rxvt would be a
no-go for it.
Up to now almost everything seem to work. The only problem that I have is:
* I start one rxvt console --> fast startup, I get fast the prompt,
everything nice.
* I keep that console open and I start another rxvt console --> the rxvt
window pops up, but until I get the prompt it stays in a "loading/not
responding" state for 5 to 8 seconds. Then once I get the prompt
everything works fine
* same thing with every rxvt console I open afterward (without closing the
previous ones).
* I close all of them, I start again the procedure --> same result: the
first is fast all other are slow.
I have tried:
to change my $HOME,
to change/delete all my point files,
to start rxvt with different options (for example:
C:\Programme\cygwin\bin\rxvt.exe or C:\Programme\cygwin\bin\rxvt.exe -fn
"Courier New-16" -bg "ivory1" -fg black -sr -sl 1000 -vb -e /usr/bin/bash
--login),
to start it from a link on the desktop,
to start it from the Start "bar" with the "default" links,
to start it from the cywin console (after having started X)
... every time I get the same result.
I have to say if I start the "cygwin" console it starts fast no matter now
many of them are started.
What's wrong? do you have any idea? this is rather annoying.
p.s. I have already done a rebaseall.
