FYI: Newest Xwin / cygwin breaks kde 3.1.4

[Bovy, Stephen J]

The kde init splash screen appears,  it hangs on the
window manager init for a long time, and then it crashes
into the bit bucket. 

cygwin-xwin-test95 binary web link ????

[Bovy, Stephen J]

The web link for (the binary) of
the newest test server series v (95) is pointing to
test version (94)  

XWin-Test86: (New Window's title Code breaks when used with xmodmap)

[Bovy, Stephen J]

FYI:: I have been struggling with delete/insert keys

The following is from my xtartup.bat file

I was using xmodmap as follows:

REM
REM Startup the programs
REM 

REM Startup the X Server.

rem start XWin
start XWin-Test86 -multiwindow -clipboard

REM Startup the twm window manager.

rem run twm
rem run wmaker

REM Set a background color.

run xsetroot -solid aquamarine4
run xhost usilca11
run xmodmap -e keycode 91 = Delete
run xmodmap -e keycode 90 = Insert KP_0

run xterm -sl 5000 -sb -rightbar -ms red -fg blue -bg wheat -cr
DarkSlateGrey -fn 10x20 -ls -g +100+100
**

Using xmodmap as shown above seems to cause the new windows title
changing code
to not work consistently/reliably

Test Server Series (74 75)

[Bovy, Stephen]

The first time I start the server using multiwindow and winclip
options it blows up:

AppName: xwin-test74.exe AppVer: 0.0.0.0 ModName:
cygwin1.dll
ModVer: 1003.19.0.0  Offset: 0003e1a5

Second time I start it up , it works ok

New multiwindow mode is great

[Bovy, Stephen]

Wow great job , keep up the good work !!

Questions:

I noticed that the XWin root window is also showing up

In multiwindow mode we don't need the Xwin root window.

Hopefully as time progresses you will work out all these nitty
Gritty details.   

The root window has to be gotten rid of or hidden like in 
Setting it as a hidden microsoft window BG.

Also of course my bash ansi terminal sequence which was in
My prompt doesn't work.. Because there is no window manager support
Yet.

I tried to send an imbedded word doc with some screen shots 
to illustrate my comments, but it didn't make it thru
Your email system...

Rootless Mode

[Bovy, Stephen]

I have tried the server test series with rootless mode.  

I find it very usefull.  Here is my dumb opinion.

We need a Native Microsft-Cygwin Window Manager designed to work in
rootless mode.

Also FYI.  The Window Maker port isnt working with the most recent
builds
Of the cygwin libraries.  

RE: Rootless Mode

[Bovy, Stephen]

FYI 

I have been experimenting with exceed window manager and cygwin 
Integration/synergy.

It is interesting to note that I can execute the windowmaker
cygwin-port and get it
To work natively with the exceed X-window server.  The clip , the dock
, ect all
Pop-up as icons on my windows desktop.

Now if this capability could be further refined to work with cygwin in
rootless mode,
In a manner that is complimentry/compatible/integrated and
non-disruptive with the
Normal windows desktop and/or other windows,  and maybee even try to
integrate it
With the task/bar ..  Then we would have a very powerfull
integration technology.

Of course unfortunately the window-maker port is currently broken so
it is hard 
To do further experiments
