Re: Windows programs in Cygwin/X ?

It's only possible to go the other way - have Windows manage both your X and your Windows windows. Is there a reason you don't want to go this way? Have you tried -multiwindow?

I still think the most obvious answer is a multiple desktop utility on the windows machine.

Maybe write an X program to 'trap' the window of a Windows program into an invisible X window. Or something like that. My approach is simply to run multiple desktops on my windows machine. I dedicate one to Cygwin/X and use the others for Windows programs. XP has a simple multi-desktop system that comes with it (I can't remember what it's called though), I use V-Com's PowerDesk myself. -- Chris Green ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) Never ascribe to malice that which can be explained by incompetence. -- 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/
