Re: startxwin.bat absent after fresh install

2004-08-10 Thread Rodrigo de Salvo Braz
I have found the problem: it was simply that I didn't realize those scripts form their own package, X-startup-scripts. This is the third time I install Cygwin/Xfree and I don't remember having to explicitly set those scripts to be included. Sorry about the distraction. Rodrigo

Right, I finally managed to get somewhere. Not with fvwm, but at least with a window manager, openbox. In the end I had to: - edit startx so that defaultserverargs= because otherwise by default it will open in multiwindow mode which will conflict with any window manager, and then - provide a

Clipboard problems with xemacs whole-line selection

Normally recent versions of XWin have reliable cut and paste between X and Windows. The application I run under X is xemacs. But I recently noticed that when triple-clicking a line of text in xemacs to select the whole line and put it in the clipboard, I couldn't paste it into Windows. The log

I have this problem intermittently. It seems to only happen when I forget to hit Ctrl-C on the windows side. I forget that just highlighting the text isn't good enough after being spoiled on the X side. Andrew Schulman wrote: I run XWin.exe -multiwindow -clipboard -dpi 100 . I can copy and

I'm not sure if this is the right mailing list for this, but it's about Cygwin X11 packages, so I think I'm in the right place. I've been trying to uninstall the X11 packages for Cygwin, but a circular dependency combined with the nature of setup.exe seems to make this impossible. xorg-x11-bin

XWin and xauth

Unfortunately, at the start of a second run of setup.exe, setup will notice the missing package and reselect it for installation, it being a dependency of the non-missing package. Therefore, the second run of setup.exe starts off the same way the first run of setup.exe does, and so the second
