I uninstalled the Fritz software and installed agnitum firewall, now Cygwin/X is running fine. In parallel i contacted AVM (the vendor of Fritz software) and informed them of the malfunction. Perhaps one day in future i can use fritz software again ... -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://x.cygwin.com/docs/ FAQ: http://x.cygwin.com/docs/faq/
overlapping windows in cygwin
Hi, I've just installed the latest version of cygwin, that I use to connect from my WindowsXP laptop to our linux farms at the university. I run startxwin.bat (as a shortcut from my desktop) and, from the cygwin terminal window I then jump to wherever I need to. My startxwin.bat is the default one that comes with the cygwin installation: SET CYGWIN_ROOT=\cygwin SET PATH=.;%CYGWIN_ROOT%\bin;%CYGWIN_ROOT%\usr\X11R6\bin;%PATH% SET XAPPLRESDIR=/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/app-defaults SET XCMSDB=/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/Xcms.txt SET XKEYSYMDB=/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/XKeysymDB SET XNLSPATH=/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/locale if not exist %CYGWIN_ROOT%\tmp\.X11-unix\X0 goto CLEANUP-FINISH attrib -s %CYGWIN_ROOT%\tmp\.X11-unix\X0 del %CYGWIN_ROOT%\tmp\.X11-unix\X0 :CLEANUP-FINISH if exist %CYGWIN_ROOT%\tmp\.X11-unix rmdir %CYGWIN_ROOT%\tmp\.X11-unix run XWin -multiwindow -clipboard -silent-dup-error run xterm -fn 6x13 -g 140x24 -si -sk -sb -fg black -bg Wheat -T cygwin terminal Window -e /usr/bin/tcsh -l I'm simply using Windows as my window manager (not running twm or fvwm or anything like that); when I have several windows, I would like to focus on each one of them (and so activate them) by just pointing my mouse to the window, instead of clicking on them. Does anyone know if it is possible (and in case how to do it) ? I also noticed that for some graphical programs (like PAW, for example, the physics analysis workstatio developed at CERN), when an xterm window is overlapped to the graphics window, the part of the plot that is covered by the xterm is cancelled and when I focus back to the graphic window (by clicking on it) my plot is partially deleted. Any idea why this happens ? Many thanks for any help/suggestion !

RE: overlapping windows in cygwin
I'm quite sure Tweakui would cast its focus-follows-mouse settings on every app window running in XP. Ideally, we would want to have focus-follows-mouse only for cygwin. Running a window mgr like wmaker rather than multi-window would help accomplish that. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Matthew Kasun Sent: Mon, October 24, 2005 1:34 PM To: cygwin-xfree@cygwin.com Subject: Re: overlapping windows in cygwin Download tweakui, part of the Powertoys for XP, from Microsoft. http://www.microsoft .com/windowsxp/downloads/powertoys/xppowertoys.mspx -- Matt -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://x.cygwin.com/docs/ FAQ: http://x.cygwin.com/docs/faq/
