RE: Kde 2.2.1's setup.ini file
-Original Message- From: Ralf Habacker [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, January 10, 2002 8:32 AM To: Cygwin-Xfree Subject: RE: Kde 2.2.1's setup.ini file - Original Message - From: Ralf Habacker [EMAIL PROTECTED] There are some basic libs like qt, libxml2, audiofile and may be some other, which are be installed in /usr/local/... because they are not part of the official cygwin release. If these package will be introduced in the cygwin release, it may be changed to /usr. libxml2 is already in the cygwin release. That are good news. I have seen that libxslt is also released. What about xfree ? Are there any plans to add xfree to the distribution ? I'm asking because then it makes sense to add qt and so on. Ralf I will look at setup.exe. In December Rob posted about changes to setup.exe code which could allow adding xfree to distribution. Due to tragidies in my family I was out of country. I will have a look at it within a few days.

Newbie question: trying to get remote netscape window...
First, thanks for Xfree/cygwin. Just what I needed to do some remote Linux work from my PC... I have cygwin/xfree and can start remote xterms from a linux server just fine. I'd like to be able to run a netscape or other browser from my remote linux machine, but trying to run netscape doesn't seem to work. I am using the twm. Do I have to run kde or gnome to pull this off? What is the simplest way to use some other window manager? I'd prefer not to have to install another wm on my pc if I don't have to. Suggestions are much appreciated. TIA, -Chris. PS: Email me directly if you don't mind. __ Do You Yahoo!? Send FREE video emails in Yahoo! Mail! http://promo.yahoo.com/videomail/
Child process assigned to wrong parent in xinit
Hello, There is a bug in the control of processes of Cygwin. As I found it while installing XFree86 I am sending this report to both mail lists. My system is a Window 95-B with DirectX, CYGWIN_95-4.0, XFree86-4.1.0 I have put in ~/ a shell script .xinitrc for running xninit. The file is a modification of the one that is provided in /etc/X11/xinit/ in the XFree distribution. The end of the shell script is like this ... ... # start some nice programs xclock -geometry 50x50-1+1 xterm -geometry 80x40+10+51 xterm -geometry 80x20+250+100 xman -geometry 100x76+1+1 -pagesize 600x400+1+1 exec twm After running the xinit command, the resulting Xwindow desk is VARIABLE. Some times I get 2 xterm windows, some times 1 xterm window and in one case I even got none. When there are 2 xterm windows some times everything is OK, but some cases only one of the xterm windows has the bash shell. Some times the bash shell that apears is the one that corresponds to the other xterm! This can be deduced because it inherits the wrong number of lines, as it can be verified by running vi. When this happens if one runs exit the xterm window does not disappear,and if one exits from the twm menu, action that normally ends the Xwindow window, twm terminates but the Xwindow desk does not. After closing the Xwindow the hangging bash still appears in the ps command output with an S in front. It seems to me that there is a big problem with the control of processes of cygwin, including the assignment of a child process to the wrong parent. I hope that this paternity problem could be solved soon. Rodrigo Medina Centro de Física [EMAIL PROTECTED]
problem with using xsetroot without window manager
Hi, I'm using the latest Xserver Test Release and have recognized a problem, when starting some apps without any window manager. For starting kde/kde2 I'm using setxroot to choose another background at the start of the launching process, which needs some time. At this time no window manager is running. With this configuration the color isn't set, but the xserver seems to be restarted. (The window seems to be closed for a little while and comes back) After startung twm, kwm or kwin color setting works. The same effect occurs, when I'm starting for example xdpyinfo without any window manager. When the end of the listing is reached the server restarts. Any ideas ? Regards Ralf
