I'm seeing the problem as well. Just highlight text in an xterm, paste into anything (e.g., notepad), and the program being pasted into stalls. Very unfortunate. Moreover, when I tried to exit Xwin after this (via the systray icon), the Xwin closing confirmation dialog also stalled! (Hence, no

This is probably related: using multi-window mode, open an emacs over ssh. Click on a menu (e.g, File), leave it droppped down, and minimize the emacs window. Result: emacs gets minimized, but the dropped down menu stays behind. -JT

Ctrl-Alt-Backspace

Er, so Ctrl-Alt-Backspace kills the X-server (quite efficiently, and with no confirmation). This is bad (for example, when Ctrl-Alt-Backspace happens to match an Emacs incantation). Since Xwin plays nicely with the system tray icon for exiting, is there any reason to listen for

If you want the error message to go away, play with the xauth command on your Windows box. # xauth -v list This will tell you your local Xauthority file and what it contains. If it's not there, or if it's empty, try to play with xauth generate to get it to contain something like localhost:0
