fluxbox style overlay setting problem with Cygwin/X
I have the following question for Cygwin/X users who use fluxbox. How come when I run fluxbox, all the style overlay settings specified in ~/.fluxbox/overlay are ignored by fluxbox even though I added the session.styleOverlay: ~/.fluxbox/overlay line in the file ~/.fluxbox/init. I'm using fluxbox 1.0rc3. Homepage: http://members.fortunecity.com/allentchang __ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!

Re: Xdmcp too slow with SOME Linux accounts.
Have been watching this for a few days now and here is what we see. When I start an XWin session, response is excellent for about 1 minute. If I happen to close the XWin server in my cygwin desktop while the response is really good, I get a warning dialog that there are 4 clients connected. Repeat the test, start XWin, open Eclipse, use system until response degrades. Now close the XWin server while the response is poor. This time, I get a message box indicating that there are 17 clients connected. My network admin is seeing sessions connecting from the Linux box into my XWin server confirming that there are sessions being initiated on the Linux system. From this, it seems the response issue is somehow related to these clients. Since I'm only starting one client (Eclipse) the others I have no way of knowing what the others are. To test the theory that this is the cause of the problem, is there any way to prevent these clients from starting and connecting to my XWin server?

Make an addtional connection with ssh and make ps print all processes for your account. Or ask someone who is root to do so. To test the theory that this is the cause of the problem, is there any way to prevent these clients from starting and connecting to my XWin server? Yes. But these clients get started by the login process on the unix/linux computer so we would need to know exactly how you connect and start eclipse for further advice. -- 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/

Re: Xdmcp too slow with SOME Linux accounts.
I got a little help from my network admin. We started watching the traffic between my Windows desktop (XWin server) and the Linux box (client). What we see is interesting. When I start XWIN and then launch Eclipse, response is perfect. If I move the mouse, my system sends a message to the Linux box. When I see the performance problem, what I see is that if I move the mouse, nothing is sent from my system to Linux. The Linux box sends a keep-alive or something to my system every 15 seconds. When that happens, it appears that a mouse message is sent to Linux. To make matters a bit more interesting, the problem seems to occur shortly after I do something that effects the application windows on the XWin desktop. For example, if I start XWin, then start Eclipse, response remains good until I do almost anything to window. If I minimize Eclipse, I notice that shortly after that, my system stops sending messages to the Linux box when I move the mouse. Or, if I create a terminal window, then close it, the same happens, ... shortly later my system stops sending messages to the Linux box. Once this occurs, the only resolution is to abort XWin via the windows task manager (because it is not responding to mouse events) and restart it. All of this leads me to ask if maybe I have XWin installed incorrectly or maybe have the wrong version. Does any of this sound familiar to anyone who has used XWin for more than a few releases?
