I have retested this with connections to different Linux systems, and it (my xwin server hang) appears to be isolated to a single Linux. I find there is a difference in Fedora versions on the two systems. Although I'm surprosed that the version of Fedora would cause my local xwin.exe to stop

Michel, One alternative you could try is ssh-ing to the host you want to run the programs on and invoking the programs directly and comparing the graphics-update performance. In essence this means issuing the following command: ssh -Y [EMAIL PROTECTED] program The 'Y' parameter

Thanks for the tip. I was able to use the ssh, but that generated errors on the console (below). Before running the ssh command, I started xwin, but perhaps I need to specify some options? Michael (eclipse:29698): GLib-GObject-WARNING **: invalid (NULL) pointer instance (eclipse:29698):

Michael, I am assuming you are invoking the ssh connection from a graphical xterm window, it won't work from a console-mode bash prompt. Other than that, it might mean that X forwarding is not enabled on the host you are connecting to. For the record, I just tried the

Have been watching this for a few days now and here is what we see. When I start an XWin session, response is excellent for about 1 minute. If I happen to close the XWin server in my cygwin desktop while the response is really good, I get a warning dialog that there are 4 clients connected.

Thanks -swcursor has eliminated the console messages, and it manages to highlight the extremely slow response. It is taking several seconds for the mouse pointer to move when I move the physical mouse. In fact, I now realize that keyboard is non responsive as well. I'm not seeing any cpu

I have a similar problem, but it is not limited to a specific account. In fact, it is fairly random. Sometimes I get pretty good performance, and then it just dies. In my case, it seems to get pretty bad when I launch Eclipse, but I have to admit that Eclipse is the only GUI app that I use, so
