With the current version of XFree86 (XFree86-bin-4.2.0-2; XFree86-xserv-4.2.0-16) I am getting the following:
I start a (xdm based) session on another (linux) X server, using a bat which does: start /B XWin -indirect linux This creates a window as large as if being maximized. Ok. If either I click on "Quit" button (from the xdm window) or choose a host, login and then logout from it, the Cygwin/XFree86 window is closed and opened again but shrinked by some 4-5 pixels in width and about the height of the taskbar in height. Repeating the procedure (clicking Quit or along several sessions on the linux machine) the Cygwin/XFree86 window gets smaller and smaller. This behaviour dissapears when I specify -screen 0 1152 844 to XWin command. Is this a known issue? I unsuccessfuly searched in the archives for it. Am I missing something? Another problem (which I did not noticed in *some* previous version) was redraw not being performed properly for eg when moving windows. I work only on another computer (linux) with DISPLAY set to Cygwin machine. Sorry I can't be more specific. Best regards, Corneliu Rudeanu
