Holger, You will probably want to grab that Test 67 preliminary release that I just posted... it has much better performance due to reduced logging. Take a look at your /tmp/XWin.log file, it is probably over 50 MB. http://www.msu.edu/~huntharo/xwin/shadow/XWin-Test67.exe.bz2 Harold Holger

Frank, I'm not sure if Cygwin proper maintains an open development items list, but Cygwin/XFree86 has a development to-do page: http://xfree86.cygwin.com/devel/todo.html Some of the items listed on that page are more housekeeping, such as integrating the Wine DirectDraw headers with Cygwin's

Yes, we should look into doing something that would allow rootless-mode windows to be placed anywhere on the virtual display area. I think that may only require setting the size of the fake Windows-window to the size of the virtual display region. Should be easy, right? ;) Harold Jehan

Chris, By the way, if you have not been following the list for the past week, the new ``-rootless'' mode makes it much more convenient to work with a combination of Windows programs, X forwarded windows, and local X windows. For example, I can be using Xfig, emacs, and xterm (for running
