I have a recurring problem with Cygwin-X. First off, I'm my work laptop is running Win XP SP3. In general, the applications I have open are MS Outlook 2007, RealVNC, and of course xterm/xemacs. X1 (email indexing) runs in the background). I'm running some sort of Norton Enterprise Anti-virus (I can't find the icon for it).
After some period of time, if I try to type something into an Outlook E-mail message, the text pauses (no echo), then after several/many seconds, it will appear (usually with the typos I didn't see). If I kill XWin.exe, then normal performance is restored. This problem is exacerbated (or happens sooner) if I'm doing a lot of cut/copy/paste in Emacs. A second problem is sometimes I copy text from a Windows app. then try to paste it into Emacs. Instead of the text showing up, I get an XWin hourglass and I'm pretty much hosed at this point (only the X system is hung, the rest of the PC is fine). Killing XWin.exe and restarting fixes this problem. I thought I had added the extra debug to my XWin log, but now I'm not so sure. The Outlook problem just happened a few mins ago, and here is the tail end of the XWin log file (repeated about 25 times): [1317564.000] winClipboardWindowProc - timed out waiting for WIN_XEVENTS_NOTIFY This has been an ongoing problem for months, it's not something that just started happening. Any idea how to debug this further? -- Jim Reisert AD1C, <jjreis...@alum.mit.edu>, http://www.ad1c.us -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://x.cygwin.com/docs/ FAQ: http://x.cygwin.com/docs/faq/
