RE: [ssh-l] "Interact with desktop" problem

There are a couple of ways to do this:

1. If you insist on using things the way you are: use a program called
Hide-It!: http://www.expocenter.com/hideit/ I've used it with every
version of Windows from 3.1 to XP.
2. Try playing with /usr/bin/rxvt instead of bash inside cmd.

If I think of more options, I'll send them to the list.

Heh. I knew you would ask this. :)

Simple: I like bash on Windows, but hate the cmd and cygwin windows. So
I
set up sshd, and use an ssh client to connect to localhost. Now I can
use
my favorite client (PuTTY) on my own machine as a DOS/bash prompt. The
only thing is that I want to be able to fire up GVim (not notepad) from
the prompt, but I can't without having to deal with the annoying
cygrunsrv
window.

Any suggestions on how to fix this? Or should I use a minimize-to-tray
utility to hide the cygrunsrv window?
