When you say this is 'new behavior', when did it start? When you upgraded the
cygwin X server? or something else was changed?
I regularly remote desktop to a machine running cygwin with an X server
running - it is a Window 7 Enterprise box.
The act of connecting through RDP resizes the screen. Normally the
machine runs with two screens.
After connecting with RDP (and while connected) the X windows do not
refresh. I typically have open multiple xterm's but nothing refreshes.
Until I move a window, it will not refresh. as soon as I move a window,
it becomes usable again. I.E. xterm's do not display what is typed until
the window is moved.
This seems to affect all X windows. Any ideas?
So if I'm understanding you correctly, the contents of the windows are drawn
correctly after the display resizes, but then do not update?
What about the root window, does that have the correct contents?
If you run a simple X client such as 'ico' or 'xeyes' does that continue to
draw correctly after the resize, or not?
This is quite possibly a bug of some kind in the resize handling in the X
server, although I don't have any particular insight at the moment as to what
that bug might be :-)
