Hi folks, Very nice product. It's going up against Reflection/X on my desktop and is for the most part wining. But there one annoying problem.
When I remote desktop to a remote Windows system and run Cygwin/X from the remote system, any communication delays while typing over the remote desktop network are interpreted as one long keypress. Which in turn triggers the keystroke auto repeat and feeds a bunch of extra keystrokes into my input stream. I've tried playing with the autorepeat settings. Turning it off altogether fixes the problem, but isn't very convenient when I want to enter a lot of the same keystroke, for example when moving the text cursor around. Setting up a long initial delay helps some, but communication delays can sometimes last for 5-10 seconds, far longer than I am willing to wait for autorepeat to trigger in normal use. I've also tried running Cygwin/X on the local system and talking to an X client on remote systems. This works, but has some unacceptable delays and problems with the VPN I have to run through. Right now it's kind of a tossup whether it is more annoying to put up with the delays with a local X server, or deal with the extra keystroke with a remote X server. I not sure what, if anything, can be done to detect and avoid remote desktop communication delays. But Reflection/X never has this problem, so there must be some way to do it.
