The best window manager might be no window manager at all. If you start XWin.exe with the command line option -multiwindow, then you won't need a window manager. Instead, your X11 applications will all appear in separate windows, managed by Microsoft Windows. The cygwin guys have done a lot of

Earle, Thanks for your reply. Yes, rdesktop on Unix works well for us too but we need to build a standalone Win2k-serving-Xterminals-with- Windows-Desktop-sessions solution. Other than Citrix, rdesktop seems to be the only alternative?? Michael Grigoni Cybertheque Museum Earle F.

'rdesktop.exe' doesn't honor a command-line display argument and setting Windows and Cygwin environment variables 'display' and 'DISPLAY' has no effect. Do an xhost + before you telnet in, and then do the set DISPLAY after you log in - then run rdesktop. terry

Hi again, Even if rdesktop has some server type mode, it wouldn't let you share Windoze desktops: XWin.exe only knows about X windows that it creates, and doesn't send events or examine non X windows... Let me clarify how we're using 'rdesktop.exe' (and rdesktop on Unix) to show the network

Sorry, since I posted the last message, I've done more testing... I installed KDE3 and some more apps, and now it seems like there's a more general problem with my setup. Basically, I startx in cygwin, ssh into my debian machine, and start program from there after setting the display and xhost.
