I am also running Xwin 4.2.0-25 under XP. I do not run another window manager (tried it and realized just how bad it would be). I am running Xwin -multiwindow -clipboard. I am running X all day at work. Though I do not have the overlapping problem at the beginning of my session, it often does show itself at some time during the day. I have also been noticing another problem that have been reported on this list. If I try to run different X apps on different virtual desktops (using MS Virtual Desktop Manager), all X apps just start to blink very quickly and the apps become unusable.
I also noticed two other things that I have not seen reported here yet. First, as I bring up an X app (most often xterm), it often reacts as if the enter key is being held down. This will usually stop if I hit enter. The second thing that I have noticed is that in some apps (ddd is the one that I can easily reproduce this in), I can select data by double or triple clicking, but if I try to drag the mouse over words, the selection gets confused and ends up just emptying the clipboard. I have not yet tried this without the -clipboard setting, but I assume that this is the root cause. > -----Original Message----- > From: Harold L Hunt II [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: Thursday, February 06, 2003 12:07 AM > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: Re: overlapping windows [was Re: Some undesirable > behaviour in > Test77] > > > Peter, > > Are you saying that you are passing -multiwindow to XWin.exe > AND running > the window manager multiDesk?
