I am not an expert, so can only tell you of a kludge I found that fixes the problem. There must be an X or x something rc file that can be modified to give arguments, but there is a maze of them and the formats vary. I found no direct answer on the Cygwin/X faq, but I'll cc this to the list, though I'm not a member. Here is a simple work around I found that fixed the problem for me. I changed line #28 in /bin/startx to include two arguments, one for the clipboard and one for multiple windows (which is what you want). You probably also want the clipboard to work. line 28 in /bin/startx changed to the below: defaultserverargs=-clipboard -multiwindow Regards, Wynfield -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://x.cygwin.com/docs/ FAQ: http://x.cygwin.com/docs/faq/

If you're not familiar with how Cygwin-X works, you could benefit by taking a look at the documentation. There's a good walk-through of the install and basics for getting started. -- Larry Hall http://www.rfk.com RFK Partners, Inc. (508) 893-9779 - RFK Office 216 Dalton Rd.

Re: Question about X-Windows and Perl
You need to install the Tk bundle which does not come with the cygwin perl distribution. You can get it from CPAN. This is not really on topic for cygwin-xfree as it is entirely a Perl issue.
