I just recently upgraded to Win2K from WinNT. In doing so, I also
upgraded to the latest and greatest cygwin release.
After doing this, everything works fine (most things better) accept
for my X forwarding of apps via menu items from WindowMaker.
Here is how I have my environment set up:
Rxvt v2.7.9 - released: 04 OCTOBER 2002
When I enter an xterm escape sequence to change the pixmap in the current
window, rxvt crashes. Below is the command that I enter to do this.
echo '^[]20;/home/user/alexhat^G'
I have attempted this in numerous ways, with the same results each time.
Carl,
I don't normally use rxvt, but this intrigued me for some reason. Well,
I've been unable to reproduce your problem (in both the X and the non-X

X processes and restart. It happens every time for him and I
I don't think anyone has guaranteed that xman works properly in
Cygwin/XFree86. I have launched it a few times and been generally
disappointed everytime. Other than that, I haven't really used it.
Someone will have to be annoyned enough with xman to search for the
problem on their own...
The XFree86-4.2.0-23 (Test75) package contained a fix that could be
related to your coworker's problems:

Abe,
Next time this happens, try attaching to the 100% CPU process with strace
(see strace --help for options) and see what it's spending its time on.
If it's reproducible for your friend, have him run xev while this
happens, and see what events X gets. It might also be worth it to try the
