Hallo Rasjid, Update Windows? Do you mean that µicro$oft has released something new since NT 4.0 ;-) We can't access porn-sites, snif, or download executables or anything bigger than 2Mb. We couldn't update the PC's since we have no administator's rights. I could easily install Linux if I wanted to, but this is not my PC, it's my customer's. But thanks for the setup.exe, I've started it, now let's see if it gets through. Pure http might work, but if there is any ftp involved, I may as well forget it.

Heiko,
If you are talking about the individual XTerm windows, I use the following
in bash:
function settitle() { echo -n ^[]2;[EMAIL PROTECTED];[EMAIL PROTECTED]; }
where ^[ is the actual Esc character (Ascii 27), and ^G is the BEL
character (Ascii 7). Or you can put the above in your bash prompt.
If you mean the title of the whole X screen (when run in rooted mode), I'm
sure that if there isn't an option for it now, it's a 2-line patch (to add
-title)...

Re: two new -multiwindow bugs
I have also experience the repeated keystroke bug.
As for the window title bug, it was possible to give a new xterm a
different title under XWin-4.2.0-20. If you run xterm -T my title -e
bash, the xterm will have my title as the title. Versions after
XWin-4.2.0-20 don't seem to allow this anymore.

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 user at remote
The xterm window gets a title like user at remote:~. 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 $PROMPT_COMMAND appropriately. For
my stock RedHat 8 install, it's PROMPT_COMMAND='echo -ne \033]0;${USER} at
${HOSTNAME%% dot *}:${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

Re: XWin.exe -query soaris9
Alan, We have had similar reports of trouble connecting to Solaris 9 from Cygwin/XFree86. We have also had a similar report that everything works OK but that the fonts are squished if you instead specify a SunOS 2.6 machine as the font server. Sounds to me like this is due to something that Sun has changed. You know, Sun tends to do things their own way just because they want to be different, not because their decision will provide any benefit to their users. As such, I believe that your only path to a solution here is to bug Sun until they tell you what they changed. You can try to get a bug report filed for Solaris 9 asking them to revert the change. I doubt you will have much luck.

I log in OK but the CDE window that appears has a munged up post script sign in the bottom right-hand corner. this is not a problem to me except that it also gives me an error when I try to run a graphical application. If I point the font server to a Solaris 2.6 machine, the application works, but the output is squashed down so it is very hard to read. I suspect this is a font problem, but I don't know how to fix it. Is anyone a Solaris-9/cygwin expert that may have any suggestions here? thanks; -Alan
Re: launching win apps inside Xfreee86?
| 1. have cygwin XFree86 window to be full sreen (meaning no boarder) Hmm could an alternative be without background.. meaning the windows desktop is the behind.. is the window? | 2. have windows apps run inside the Xfree86 session? Nope, alternative might be using VNC or similar if you want to see the screen on other computer.. if you want to throw out a bunch of different windows-screens to a bunch of other clients, I think there is a vnc-application that can do this too. Or well maybe if you run vncviewer on x-mode, grabbing display of the vncserver on the machine.. hmm nope.. wouldn't think so. /Andy p.s. there is a cygwin.xfree mailinglist where I sent this answer to too, and could be a good place for future questions. -- The eye of the beholder rests on the beauty!
