Re: Auto hidden taskbar stays hidden

Haven't had a chance to try it on Cygwin-X myself though... Larry, I think the OP was referring to the *Windows* taskbar, not the one provided by one of the X window managers (e.g., Gnome). The phrasing is confusing as well, especially the part that says e.g. xterm or a native windows application -- does this mean that this is reproducible for him even with native Windows apps? If so, it's a Windows bug and has nothing to do with X. FWIW, the OP didn't provide details of his OS, nor how X was run (i.e., multiwindow, rootless, rooted), nor which window manager he was running (in the rootless/rooted mode). I've just tried to and couldn't reproduce this problem on WinXP with X running in either multiwindow or rootless (twm, fvwm) mode.

Re: Auto hidden taskbar stays hidden
If you are in WinXP and, I think, past versions of windows, there is an option on the task-bar properties page right under the Auto-hide checkbox to Keep taskbar on top of other windows. That must also be checked to keep the taskbar's single-hidden line on top, so it can catch your mouse movement. Might also try pressing the Windows key to see if the menu pops up (should also bring up task bar) or ctrl-ESC (same as single press of windows key, but can't be used as a modal- or shifted- Windows key). Other than that, it could be an option, bug or feature for those who might want a completely X desktop, I suppose;^). Linda Thomas Gilgin wrote: Hi list, I use an auto hiding taskbar.

Re: X Copy/Paste ?
Roy Wiseman wrote: A quick question, and I have a feeling this is asked regularly, but I couldn't find an answer on searching the forum. How can I copy/paste to/from xterm to another xterm windows and also how can I copy/paste to/from an xterm window and a windows application like say notepad ? Since this is a X11-related question it really belongs on the cygwin-xfree (at) cygwin.com mailing list, where I've CC:d it. The X11 clipboard and windows clipboard are integrated. You don't have to do anything special to copy/paste between them. In rxvt and xterm, selecting text with the mouse also selects it, so you can just Ctrl-V in Notepad. To paste in rxvt / xterm you normally use the middle mouse button (which can sometimes be emulated on 2 button mice by pressing both at the same time) or by pressing Shift-Insert. You can find more details in the manpages.
