This *is* possible even in Lotus Notes (at least it is in R6).

Just to be clear: c) is not possible with pure Cygwin/X. I don't think there is any code that does b) either. That leaves a), which is what I've been implying you can achieve. > > How are you invoking XWin? Do you use the startxwin.sh script?

The coomand I run is the following: BTW, what is the size of your X application? When you imply that it doesn't fit on the XP screen, and then say that you set your X window size to be the same as your XP screen, it's pretty confusing... I'm going to assume for the rest of this message that your X application is 1280x1024. > run XWin :0 -screen 0 [EMAIL PROTECTED] -scrollbars -query %REMOTE_HOST% > -nodecoration -lesspointer -clipboard ^^^^^^^^^^ I'm not sure this is the right syntax for the -screen parameter... Try "-screen 0 1280 1024". Also, the -nodecoration may screw up the scrollbars (but, IIRC, run hides the root window unless -nodecoration is specified, so you'll have to switch to "start" or "cygstart"). > My current WindowsXp screen resolution is 1024x768 . So, to summarize, try cygstart XWin :0 -screen 0 1280 1024 -scrollbars -query %REMOTE_HOST% -lesspointer -clipboard and see if you get a big enough window for your X app with scrollbars.
