Cem, I forgot to email you yesterday and tell you to try the Test103/XFree86-xserv-4.3.0-16 release. I backported the final version of the WaitFor.c cleanups from XFree86 CVS HEAD to our 4.3 tree. Your crash was happening in WaitFor.c, so it is possible that this newest version may randomly

The XFree86-xserv-4.3.0-17 package has been updated in the Cygwin distribution. Changes: 1) winwndproc.c - Ignore Win32 repeats for the VK_CAPITAL (Caps Lock) key. This may or may not help to keep the state of the Caps Lock key in X and Windows in sycnh; it all depends on whether we are

Colin, Great screen shot. I have the following suggestions: 1) Make a full resolution version (1280x1024). Keep the shrunk version, but maybe standardize on 800 x 600? 2) Can you make a thumbnail while you are at it? Say 200 pixels wide? 3) Run 'uname' or 'uname -a' in the local xterm so

Frédéric and Takuma, Check out the Test104/4.3.0-17 release. I disabled processing of the Win32 repeat count for VK_CAPITAL messages. This may or may not help. In fact, I suspect that it won't help. However, it will at least give me some incentive to fix it the right way when I find out

Cem, Looks like the location of your crash changed drastically. Could you run this a couple (say 5) times and check that the location stays in the same place between runs? Try varying the amount of load on your machine by doing it a couple times without many other programs, then try it
