Hello,
I've been using Xwin under cygwin 1.26 (and the same Xwin which came
with the same version). I know, a bit old, but it has been serving me
very well since around 2002, and I have no apparent reason to upgrade.
Or maybe...
The only thing that really annoys me, is that every time I switch tabs
on Konsole (version 1.1 under KDE 3.0) from the client, a windows
process is started, and then a windows process is killed, soon
withafter. I know this, because I have sound effects on the windows
computer for these events.
This becomes a huge annoyment when the server computer is loaded,
because this causes Konsole to freeze for a while, until the server
computer reclaims swapped memory space. This can be up to a few seconds.
Checking with ethereal, I discovered that a tab switch involves, among
X11 event reports, three requests packets. One GetModifierMapping (119)
request, one QueryPointer (38), and one packet consisting of four
ChangeProperty (18) requests: For property WM_NAME (39), unknown
property (231) and then twice WM_ICON_NAME (37), apparently to the same
value.
Any idea of how I can switch tabs without getting the server involved
too much?
Thanks in advance,
Eli
