No, there is no right-click menu on the X icon menu, right-clicking does nothing.
Running:
export DISPLAY=127.0.0.1:0.0
xclock
causes the xclock program to hang and no clock appear.
Using
xwin -clipboard -silent-dup-error
without the -multiwindow causes a new window frame to be drawn with the title 'Cygwin/X - 0:0' that contains a copy of my desktop at the time I started it, but it is now 'Not Responding' and can be moved around and minimised, but otherwise does nothing.
Regards,
Brent.
