Re: Problems with ALT_GR and minimized multiwindow xterm

Using -kxblayout se is not enough. The easiest way is to just add the swedish layout and switch to that with the language bar while starting the cygwin session. That way you don't have to have se layout for you other sessions. I could reproduce it with the installed german layout too. I does however seem to be related to something else too. I tried with a separatly started server used for debugging and could not reproduce this (latest CVS code, compiled for mingw) but I'm quite I saw this too some time ago. Anyway, since I now can reproduce this much more easily the chances are good I can find a solution. bye ago -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.gotti.org ICQ: 126018723

Xfree covers always on top taskbar
Hi, I configured my win-taskbar to be always on top and other windows respect this, but any Xfree window (e.g. an xterm) can be put above the taskbar, which is quite annoying. I start XWin with: XWin -dpi 92 -multiwindow -clipboard -multiplemonitors -xkbvariant nodeadkeys -ac The Maximize Button works correctly, in the sense that it leave space for the taskbar. By the way: Is there a bug-tracking database for Cygwin-Xfree? If not, wouldn´t it be good to have one?

Even more strange: the taskbar will hide if a Cygwin/X window has the focus. and other windows which were behind the taskbar before are now visible too. I'll have to take a closer look. Maybe this was once added as a feature to make areas visible which were hidden otherwise. By the way: Is there a bug-tracking database for Cygwin-Xfree? If not, wouldn´t it be good to have one?

Cygwin x windows working fine for 5 of our Solaris 2.8 boxes, but can't get CDE login screen up for one other box - can anyone help
XWin.log Hi, I am getting the attached log file produced in the Cygwin/tmp directory on my PC when i try to run x against one of our Solaris 2.8 boxes - although it can connect fine to the other similar Solaris boxes. It opens a window but doesn't get as far as the login box - just has a black and white fuzz on the screen. Any ideas please? Many Thanks Matt Griffey. XWin.log Description: Binary data

tcl/tk, itcl, BLT - native X for TkDesk 2.0
Hi, I'm an old tkdesk fan. (shameless plug) I think it's power flexibility would be a great addition to the cygwin environment on windows. I've been using it on cywin/X for over a week now. It's like coming home after a long voyage. I compiled ran tkdesk with the cygwin tcl/tk, but there are differences between the X and windows version, some subtle and some not so subtle. Mostly, the X registry is implemented differently, so a tk app that depends on defaults in the registry for it's behavior would need to be redone. With a tip from http://wiki.tcl.tk/ I compiled tcl/tk, itcl and BLT as static libs for an undefined unix system. Tkdesk compiles and runs with exactly the same look feel as native Unix. Even the same bugs. I'd like to digress here and say the Xlib compatibility, and cygwin API combo is one of the most amazing feats of compatibility I've ever witnessed. I'm still in awe. I checked back thru 2004 and all I can find are discussions about previous discussions about an X-based tcl/tk cohabiting the environment with the cygwin's tcl/tk windows version and not interfering with insight. Here's my quandry. My goal was to get tkdesk 2.0 working well in the cygwin environment, but that goal now has a certain dependency on resolving the issues surrounding X-tcl/tk and Win-tcl/tk. Would it be acceptable to the community to contribute a statically compiled tkdesk that included everything it needed in it's own directory? I've been doing this on linux for years now to keep an older version of tkdesk running using an outdated tcl/tk release. If not, I never thought of being a maintainer for something like tcl/tk and friends, and wouldn't even know where to start. It really is almost trivially easy to compile these apps as static native X unix apps, but I have no idea what kind of long term responsibilities that involves or what additional effort will be required to make dll's. So I'm not volunteering in this note. But if someone was to start maintaining an X tcl/tk, what would be an acceptable naming convention? Would static be OK? Is it going to be sufficient to change paths to find the X version before the windows version? Memory usage aside, there are some benefits derived by not searching for a shared dll. Is non-interference with insight the only issue of interaction with an X tcl/tk? There are a lot of X based tcl/tk applications that could be ported over without change if the X based tcl/tk existed. It just seems a waste to ignore that. Regards, Doug
