Cygwin : Thou Shalt Not Load Xresources

$ xrdb .Xresources
/home/dragon/.Xresources:1: error: Unterminated character constant '!@#%^&*()-=+{}[]":;<>?, skipped the line
    nedit.wordDelimiters: .,\\`'!@#%^&*()-=+{}[]":;<>?
1 error in preprocessor.

*ds... why not give us stuff that works?

Cygwin : Keeping the Abort/Retry/Fail Tradition Alive and Well

When can they give us something that just works?

All seems to have gone well (3rd time trying the install btw) and then, I launch X-Win server and right click the icon thinking I'll get my xterm in a jiffy - and .... no "Applications" submenu. *ds!

Google : installed cygwin X-server but don't see a way to launch xterm : nothing useful

Anyhow, it ain't that bad in the end - see... these geniuses never took a basic marketing course which would have told them something about taking care of the end user. Install any software you use at work - or upgrade - what's the first thing you get - release notes - see what's changed, etc...

In this case, there's a new icon with a much richer feature set (to my novice eyes anyway).. and there you have the usual suspects.

Shame on You Google. Get Your Left Hand and RH to Talk

Why don't they have something as basic as this down?

You're cruising on the highway with listening to music on music player app and Navigation gives you some directions - and, music pauses - good.

Why the * can't they do the same with YouTube? They own the damn thing for X sake.
