Chris, I thank you for putting so much time into developing xwinclip. I really appreciate that you got the long-awaited setjmp lngjmp functionality implemented so that we are not killed upon X Server shutdown and restart. I don't know anymore about the CLIPBOARD than what I wrote in the xwincli

Nicholas, I wasn't even aware of XFree86 4.2.1 until you mentioned it. I am not sure if I will build a release of it or not... seems like a lot of trouble for just a few fixes, with non of them Cygwin-specific. As for building versioned DLLs --- I have no idea. I am not knowledgeable enough ab

Carlos, Sorry I didn't get back to you, but you did find the explanation in the FAQ. Basically, Aventail does something to the TCP/IP stack that breaks compatibility with the standards that Cygwin and XFree86's sockets layers are expecting. Aventail replaces a couple of Windows DLLs with its own

Jean-Claude, Yes, I saw your post. However, I don't see what I can do about it. On the other hand, I am wondering why you haven't done any testing using the -scrollbars command-line option. That would seem like it might prevent the Cygwin/XFree86 window from ever being stretched or squashed in

xcb --- xcb gives GUI access to all the X cut buffers. I also find it useful to copy and paste between applications that `resist' the normal X11 selection and middle mouse pasting. On Monday, I compiled up xcb 2.3 for Cygwin. I've popped it onto my web page at http://members.optushome.com.au/l

minimized XWin is killed

If I start remote windowmanager via ssh to my local _minimized_ fullscreened XWin, it disappears from desktop. (up to XWin-Test65.exe) (workaround is a remote script with "sleep 1" before starting Xsession in order to switch quickly from terminal to fullscreened XWin) Norbert
