Description Colin Harrison 2005-09-02 07:27:04 UTC 
The taskbar customization feature via a xwinrc file does not work for Xming 
(works for cygwin/X).

i.e. when the tree is compiled:

make World CROSSCOMPILEDIR=/usr/local/cross-tools/i386-mingw32msvc/bin 
LOCAL_LDFLAGS=-mwindows

See xc/programs/Xserver/hw/xwin/_usr_X11R6_lib_X11_system.XWinrc for how the 
control file is used to launch external processes.

Comment 6 Colin Harrison 2005-12-19 08:05:11 UTC 
MessageBox should be "Xmingrc Exec Command Error!" not "Mingrc Exec Command 
Error!"

Applied. Thanks.
