Whoops, I misspoke. multidesk is a windows based virtual desktop program. When I put X windows apps in more than one virtual desktop, they overlap so that the contents are muddled. Actually, you can still access the windows from the "wrong" virtual DT, I.e., a window that is supposed to be in DT 2

Is there a way to run XFree with the numlock key on without stopping the keys from working? I followed the instructions from Harold's post at: http://www.cygwin.com/ml/cygwin-xfree/2002-06/msg00307.html but that solution didn't seem to work for me. Thanks, JS. __
