Yep, There are lots of them :)
I even wrote one :)
http://xlauncher.sf.net
It's written in Delphi though, so can't be included in the cygwin
distribution :(
Hopefully someone will start writing one in straight C/C++ calling the
Win32
API, so it could go in cygwin, so people will stop writing their own in
non-free languages every month ;-)

Tim,
This is a really good, simple GUI program which will make life a lot easier
for my users. I tried the cygwin connection tool on win 98 and 2000, but it
didn't work on neither, complaining of missing DLLs so I guess that needs
more testing.
The xlauncher worked well on W2k, and did run on Win95 (configured with a
fixed IP address - not dhcp) but didn't "connect" so I was just wondering if
that was a win95 bug or not?
Thanks,
JS.
