Re: xwinclip test 6 hacked to leave selection untouched

2002-11-18 Thread Harold L Hunt II
Robert, In an intial test of your patch, I noticed that your patch, after the first selection, only tends to grab every other selection that I make on both the Windows clipboard and the X clipboard. For example, I go into emacs under X and select a region, then I go to emacs under Windows and

Georg, You more than likely just got a bad version of the Cygwin or one of the Cygwin packages... we have been working on fixing a few bugs over the last few weeks. Please run Cygwin's setup.exe again and let it grab any packages that have been updated. Then report to us if you still have

Kris, You know, you bring up a good point. I used to use gdb on Cygwin all the time for debugging both XWin.exe and non-X applications that I write. However, gdb has been broken for me on Cygwin for months now; it never works properly anymore. I think I recall CGF insisting that gdb works

Jean-Claude, No. XDMCP manages your entire X Windows session. Either you use it at startup or you don't use it at all. If all you want is a local window manager and remote applications, then you should launch XWin with your local window manager, then ssh into your remote host with X
