I know that only the clients on XDM host have control on control list of the X server when I run X with '-query' option, and I did so. > I hope that helps, let us know if it does. > > Harold Now I found the problem. xwinclip.exe does not process '-display' option. I found this after seeing the source code of xwinclip. I think it would be better if xwinclip process '-display' option as other X clients do, or give error message if the option is not recognized. (Someone may say that it's the bash's fault since bash does not set DISPLAY environment variable.) I tried 'export DISPLAY=:0' and 'xwinclip' instead of doing 'xwinclip -display :0', then it works. Of course, I did 'xhost win_host_name' on the terminal before doing this. One more feature request: It would be better if the option for silent or designate the log file. Anyway, thank you for xwinclip. It helps me a lot. I hope my tip help others. -Sanori > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Joo-won Jung > Sent: Sunday, January 05, 2003 8:49 AM > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: xwinclip-Test07 does not work with XWin -query > > > Hello list, > > Thank you, the developers and users of XFree86-cygwin. > Most of the cases XFree86-cygwin works fine on my computer. > But, I want to tell a problem that I have got in stuck. > > I'm using Windows XP.
