xterm does't handle LINES and COLS correctly anymore
Since one of the last updates this year, the output in an xterm is sometimes wrapped after a few columns. They same applies to the number of lines. Sometimes it works, i.e. xterm wraps the line when the content really doesn't fit into the line anymore, but sometimes the lines are wrapped after 4 or 30 characters. The effect sometimes appears locally (i.e. in xcygwin), but happens more often when logging into a remote server via SSH. In such a case, the terminal is unusable. I noticed that LINES and COLS is not set on the cygwin side, and remotely (2 SLES servers) I get something like this: $ echo LINES:$LINES COLS:$COLS LINES:2 COLS: Setting the LINES before and/or after ssh'ing into the server sometimes helps, but not very often. Any ideas? Thank you & have a nice day, Berny P.S. It's Win7, and I start openbox from ~/.xinitrc via the .bat lines chdir /d d:\cygwin\bin .\run bash -l -c /bin/startx -- 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/

openbox scrambled after xorg 7.4 update
Hi *, I updated my cygwin installation today - several x.org packages were among them. Now (after I have found out that startxwin.bat was moved from /usr/X11R6/bin/ to /usr/bin/), my openbox window manager is not usable anymore: the menues, window titles etc. are not rendered correctly and can't be read anymore. Is openbox supported with the new xorg version? Any other ideas? BTW (OT): xterm comes up with the toolbar displayed now.
