Hmmm.

It appears that ALT-TAB to X works fine...

Until I use X-server as a DISPLAY for a non-local X KDE client.

THEN it goes wonky, not before.

If all I wanted was the grey screen of death, I'd be all set :-)

Subject: [Cygwin-ports-general] X-server wonky after alt-tab

I'm running X-server on my Windows XP sp2 desktop with the X-client on a remote 
Linux machine through a putty SSH tunnel with X11 forwarding and compression on.

I've altered the startup script to use -fullscreen or somesuch instead of 
-multiwindow, as performance was abysmal on dual head.

It's nifty until...

If I hit ALT-TAB and use another program in Windows, getting back to X is 
well-nigh impossible, and if I do manage to get there, X performance is pretty 
bad...

I'm starting the X-client from "Singular CAS"->"X Server (emacs and surf)" as 
that seems to start just the server and nothing else, which is what I need for 
the X client to connect through the tunnel, as far as I can tell from 
experimentation.

I'd love to just dump 'Doze, but the whole company uses Outlook and schedules 
me for meetings with little notice via that, so...
