Thank you for your time and effort, Kensuke, Harold, et. al.
I have two monitors, monitor 2 is physically left of monitor 1. XFree86-xserv 4.2.0-28.
0) the repeated keystrokes bug is still present in this release http://www.cygwin.com/ml/cygwin-xfree/2003-03/msg00059.html
1) window positioning bug
# Xwin -rootless -multiplemonitors -clipboard # xterm -geometry +34+5
The xterm is positioned in the upper left-hand corner of monitor 2.
# Xwin -multiwindow -multiplemonitors -clipboard # xterm -geometry +34+5
The xterm is positioned in the upper left-hand corner of monitor 1.
Presumably, the xterm should get positioned on the same monitor regardless whether I use -rootless or -multiwindow.
2) window title bug
# Xwin -rootless -multiplemonitors -clipboard # xterm -geometry +34+5 # TERM=xterm; export TERM # xterm -e bash -i -c "ssh -X [EMAIL PROTECTED]"
The xterm window gets a title like "[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~". This is very pretty and very useful when you open a gazillion xterms, like I do. (The remote machine has an /etc/bashrc that sets up $PROMPT_COMMAND appropriately. For my stock RedHat 8 install, it's PROMPT_COMMAND='echo -ne "\033]0;[EMAIL PROTECTED]:${PWD/#$HOME/~}\007"'.)
# Xwin -multiwindow -multiplemonitors -clipboard
[snip. same xterm, TERM and ssh setup as above, but note -multiwindow, not -rootless Xwin invocation]
The xterm window gets the title "bash". Awful, boring title.
Best, JT
