Re: Cygwin/X 1.7 keyboard/mouse freeze shortly after Xwin login to Solaris
I should clarify again that the mouse pointer itself doesn't freeze when I click to open the CDE panel a second time. The mouse pointer continues to move. CDE just ignores my clicks and keystrokes after that point.

Unfortunately things are only partially fixed with 1.7.5-1. The Motif context menu issue appears to be gone. When I right-click inside a CDE application, I get a context menu as expected, and no keyboard/mouse freeze. However, I still get a keyboard/mouse freeze when I click a CDE panel for the second time in single-window mode. I use the command: XWin -query solarisbox I get the Solaris login prompt and log in to CDE. I click the up-triangle on one of the panels to get to my terminal icon, and the panel opens as expected. When I click the terminal icon, the terminal opens and the panel automatically hides itself again. If I click the up-triangle again, the panel does not appear again, and the keyboard and mouse freeze. Let me know if I can provide any more info.

Re: How to remotly launch application with SSH and Cygwin/X server
I have similar problem with Cygwin 1.7.1's SSHD. I'm unable to start any Windows GUI program via SSH. Strange is the problem doesn't occur in SSHD shipped with cygwin 1.5.25-7, which I had installed yesterday. In version 1.5 enough thing to do was enable service option: Allow interact with desktop, then GUI applications were able to be correctly run via ssh. In version 1.7 switch on this option in Cygwin SSHD service option doesn't help. Application cannot draw himself, and generates tons of denial access errors. I tried also grant acces in Local Policies to user, Generate security audits Replace process level token Create process token didn't help too :( I have Win XP SP2, under this system I had installed Cygwin 1.5 and launch GUI apps via ssh worked. Now I have Win XP SP2 too, but current Cygwin version is 1.7.1 - It doesn't work. I tried to find answer to this problem, and I saw this problem is not a new one (people complains since A.D. ~2006), but nobody could definitly answer how to make it work, or at least say that is impossible to do at all. If someone has some info, please help. Thanks.

Yes. I'll try to explain better: I'm log on to windows as e.g. User1, that
is administrator user. When I start cygwin shell I can simply run:
$notepad
I see Notepad application correct launched, but If I do it this way:
$ssh us...@localhost
us...@localhost's password:
Last login: Fri Feb 26 18:00:01 2010 from localhost
us...@athlon ~
$ notepad
I have notepad launched (I see it on process ) but it cannot draw correctly
himself on the screen. The same behaviour was in Cygwin 1.5, but then
sufficient thing to do was simply select SSHD service option: Allow service
to interact with desktop, which was solve the problem.
With Cygwins' 1.7 SSHD, selection this option does not take any effect, I
have still this unexpected to me behaviour.
From application point of view it is somekind still permission problem
(exactly the same as was in cygwin 1.5 before switch on Allow service to
interact with desktop option), for example:
int main(int argc, char* argv[])
{
int retVal = 0;
retVal = SetCursorPos(0, 0);
if (retVal == 0)
{
std::cout SetCursorPos error [
GetLastError() ].
std::endl;
//
// GetLastError() returns 5 - ACCESS VIOLATION
// when it is run via ssh in Cygwin 1.7.1.
//
}
return 0;
}
Additional info:
SSHD process user name is SYSTEM
process launched via ssh user name is User1, but it still has no access to
the desktop.

Re: How do I start WM?
Hi; Now, if it isn't asking too much, I'd like to use KDE as my Window Manager and I'd like some KDE-based utilities, like konsole and karm (? the task/time manager). I don't see a great deal of visible difference between twm and openbox, but I'll look on openbox.org and find more details.
