I connect to a unix host using ssh -X hostname. When I issue the command xemacs& or emacs& it opens a window on my desktop. but when I issue the command netscape I get the following error: (76) unixs1 % netscape & [1] 15126 (77) unixs1 % Warning: Cannot convert string "<Key>Escape,_Key_Cancel" to type VirtualBinding Warning: Cannot convert string "<Key>Home,_Key_Begin" to type VirtualBinding Warning: Cannot convert string "<Key>F1,_Key_Help" to type VirtualBinding Warning: Cannot convert string "Shift<Key>F10,_Key_Menu" to type VirtualBinding Warning: Cannot convert string "<Key>F10,Shift_Key_Menu" to type VirtualBinding Warning: Cannot convert string "<Key>KP_Enter,_Key_Execute" to type VirtualBinding Warning: Cannot convert string "Alt<Key>Return,Alt_Key_KP_Enter" to type VirtualBinding X Error of failed request: BadDrawable (invalid Pixmap or Window parameter) Major opcode of failed request: 73 (X_GetImage) Resource id in failed request: 0x56 Serial number of failed request: 78 Current serial number in output stream: 78
I tried also another x client (xwin32) and netscape worked fine. So this appears to be a bug in cygwin-xfree. Am I doing something wrong? I run the latest version of cygwin.
