this is a bit a different problem from mine. As I already mentioned, occassionally my mouse pointer does not display anymore. This then happens for all open and new X-windows. I cannot give explicit instructions how to reproduce this, but for example, yesterday it happened as follows: - start new X server using startxwin.bat (Xwin -multiwindow -clipboard) - in the xterm, I typed "cd somedir; emacs&" that's it. emacs came up and my (X) pointer disappeared. However, this is not reproducible though. I have this both on NT 4.0sp6a and XP sp1. cygwin-setup says that all my packages are up-to-date, except that I'm still using cygwin.dll version 1.5.9-1. Kris
