Problem with multiwindow and drop-down menus
I'm having a problem with 1.7 when starting the server with -multiwindow. I am trying to run Sun's jconsole application (part of the JDK 6) remotely, but none of the menus work correctly. When I run a separate window manager (wmaker), they work correctly. I can click on a menu and it will stay open. I can move my mouse to select a menu entry and then click again to make it so. With -multiwindow, clicking on the menu just causes it to flash open. If I hold the mouse down, the menu will stay open, but I can't select any options. The only way I can interact with jconsole is with keyboard shortcuts. Any ideas? Is this some local configuration problem or a known issue with -multiwindow? -- David Rothenberger daver...@acm.org From there to here, from here to there, funny things are everywhere. -- Dr. Seuss -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://x.cygwin.com/docs/ FAQ: http://x.cygwin.com/docs/faq/

X11R7.4 multiwindow ignoring title bars for geometry
I just updated to the X11R7.4 release. I start the X server in multiwindow mode using /bin/startxwin.sh. If I then type xterm -geometry +0+0 into the visible XTerm, the new XTerm shows up in the top-left of the screen, but the title bar is off the top of the screen and not visible. This makes it impossible to move the window. I have to use +5+30 to get it where I want. This isn't a problem when I specify the geometry, but does cause problems when I run other applications that open their own windows. Most recently, I had this problem with wireshark running from a Debian Etch server. This is a regression from the previous X11 release. -- David Rothenberger [EMAIL PROTECTED] Pohl's law: Nothing is so good that somebody, somewhere, will not hate it. -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://x.cygwin.com/docs/ FAQ: http://x.cygwin.com/docs/faq/
Re: rdesktop build on cygwin gone wrong

However, I am running into problems with my home computer: it's not finding the X libraries, even though they are there. So, how can I fix it? Again, I really don't know where to go from here, but apparently, cygwin's setup utility is not updating the libraries as it should. Any ideas? Search for Checking for X in config.log. It should show you the program it compiled and ran to check for the X libraries.

Re: Window Manager Selection
William E. Kempf wrote: I want the windows to look and feel as much like the native windows as possible. [snip] Can anyone suggest a window manager for me? Just use -multiwindow. You don't have to (actually you should not) start a window manager when that switch is used. That switch causes a built-in window manager to be used that makes all windows appear like standard Windows windows. So, you'll get exactly what you want and won't have to worry about configuring a window manager. David
