Bailing. winClipboardProc - XDestroyWindow succeeded In both cases, by default XWin starts in multiwindow mode, which basically means that XWin has a built-in window manager that wraps the Windows default window manager. If you are content with the multiwindow mode, just don't start any window manager. If you would rather use twm or windowmaker, remove the -multiwindow parameter from the XWin invocation (and you might wish to add -rootless if you want the windows to be listed among the regular Windows ones).

RE: What happened to xwinclip
Never could find the package. Good news is I realized it's been quite awhile since I last tried the '-clipboard' option. I tried it again on my latest box and it appears to be working as intended. It still seems odd that the 'xwinclip' package got dropped. I could foresee a possible need for it when working with legacy boxen with older Windows versions.

I like being able to turn the clipboard integration on and off as I need. I looked on about a dozen different mirrors from the setup program and none of them showed 'xwinclip' as an available package (if I remember correctly that was an available package some time back). I wonder why the stand alone program got dropped. Guess I'll just have to do a manual install.

Is this part of another package now or has it been replaced with something else? Part of the main XWin executable now. Make sure XWin is invoked (usually from startxwin.bat or startxwin.sh) with -clipboard. I still show an xwinclip package from the cygwin package search tool, though: http://cygwin.com/packages/ (enter xwinclip) but it's not necessary. -Richard Campbell. -- 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/
