Hello, Wanted to file a quick bug report running the latest X available via the cygwin.com setup.exe under Windows XP SP2.
I have a virtual desktop application that can cause X to do funny refresh things. It is not very serious, but I thought someone might be interested in fixing it. Since none of my native Windows applications behave similarly in conjunction with the same application, I assume that the problem lies with the X server (or xterm? i don't use any other X apps), though I have no idea if the problem can be fixed under the current architecture. Using MultiDesk (http://www.techsuperior.com/products/multiDesk21b.exe), a freeware, X-like, virtual desktop switcher for Windows, and xterm, if I switch from one desktop to another, and a window lies in a position that would have overlapped another xterm window had they been on the same virtual desktop, the new window shows active content from the other desktop's window. I say active, because if I was running something that generated output like tailing a log or running `top' in the first window, it continues to update in the overlapping part of the new window. This is a not-so-serious problem, because a single click in the title bar of the new window makes the erroneous content go away. This also does not happen if the xterm windows overlapped any native windows application, only if it overlapped another xterm window. Please CC me on responses you'd like me to see, as I don't subscribe to this mailing list. Regards, Derek -- Derek R.
