Remote Java GUI window decoration in multiwindow mode
Hello, I'm running Cygwin/X in multiwindow mode and it works quite fine. However, if I try to start a Java GUI that uses default lookfeel window decoration on a remote box, I get the following error in the shell on the remote host and the application won't start: --- Xlib: unexpected async reply (sequence 0x7d)! --- To make things a little bit clearer: I'm running Windows XP Professional with Cygwin/X on my machine. Options to XWin are -multiwindow -clipboard -silent-dup-error. I open an xterm and do an ssh -Y remotehost. The remote host runs under Linux and has Sun JDK 1.4.2_05 installed. Then I start my Java GUI that has been told to use system look and feel window decorations. Then the error mentioned above occurs. There's no error entry in my Cygwin XWin.log. For those familiar with Java: The top level container is a JFrame and there's the following line in the application's source code: --- JFrame.setDefaultLookAndFeelDecorated(true); --- I have found three workarounds to this problem, but as the name suggests these are only workarounds and don't satisfy me. 1) Removing the line mentioned above from the source code and running without changed window decorations obviously solves this problem. ;) 2) It works, too, if I don't run Cygwin/X in multiwindow mode and use twm or openbox as window manager. 3) Another solution is to use JDK 5.0. I didn't recompile my application with JDK 5.0, but used the classes generated with 1.4.2_05 and was able to successfully start it with the JRE from JDK 5.0. However this way I have the standard Windows window decoration wrapped around the window decorations that are used on my Linux box. :( The last solution makes me wonder if this is actually a problem with multiwindow mode in Cygwin/X or a bug in the older JDK.

WindowMaker bad default values

WindowMakers default fonts were not listed. I then installed the xorg-x11-fscl package, which then fixed the issue. Running the script started up WindowMaker just fine. Running xlsfonts shows that only the Luxi Sans fonts are installed not the Trebuchet MS fonts. I don't know if it is easier to update what the default fonts are going to be for WindowMaker ( i.e. what is in the GNUstep/Defaults/WMGLOBAL after invoking wmaker.inst ) or making WindowMaker dependant on xorg-x11-fscl. It would be nice if either of these things happened so that WindowMaker works out of the box. Thanks, Frodak

Re: Numlock and java applications
Wrong list. Questions about Cygwin/X should be sent to the cygwin-xfree list. Redirecting.
