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 :-) -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Richard Lynch Sent: Thursday, July 31, 2008 4:37 PM To: '[email protected]' 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... -- Richard Lynch _______________________________________________________ The information in this email or in any file attached hereto is intended only for the personal and confiden- tial use of the individual or entity to which it is addressed and may contain information that is propri- etary and confidential.
