invalid Window parameter error through ssh X forwarding
I have just upgraded my xfree-cygwin setup (Xwin serv Release 4.3.0-64, etc.). Some apps that worked through ssh without any problem with my previous setup (Xwin serv Release 4.3.0-58, etc.) are now exiting with errors messages related to an invalid Window parameter. For example, in a xterm after an ssh connect with X forwarding, gftp starts but as soon as I try to select a menu item, I get the following error: === [EMAIL PROTECTED] gourdeau]$ gftp [1] 13684 [EMAIL PROTECTED] gourdeau]$ Gdk-ERROR **: BadWindow (invalid Window parameter) serial 3647 error_code 3 request_code 38 minor_code 0 Gdk-ERROR **: BadAccess (attempt to access private resource denied) serial 3648 error_code 10 request_code 102 minor_code 0 [1]+ Exit 1 gftp === I have notice that the mouse cursor remains as an X and does not change to an arrow when moved over the gftp application. I am using the startxwin.sh script from the distribution (unmodified) to start Xwin in multiwindow mode. Should I specify some optional parameters or is this a known problem ? -- Richard Gourdeau

Replace 'ssh -X' with 'ssh -Y'. Harold Richard Gourdeau wrote: I have just upgraded my xfree-cygwin setup (Xwin serv Release 4.3.0-64, etc.).
