A question for those using python under Cygwin. I've just installed
the latest distribution with python 2.3.4. One problem I have is when
I start IDLE, it doesn't show toolbar menu (either shell window or
edit window). Does anyone know why and if there is a workaround? TIA.

(I know I should probably ask Cygwin folks, but just want to check it
here first)
