Very strange. I start my Xserver instance like this: run XWin :$SCREEN -nowinkill -unixkill -ac +kb -clipboard -silent-dup-error -nod ecoration& Then I login like this (both of these via a cygwin shell script): ssh $u...@$remote "export DISPLAY=$DISPLAY;$COMMAND;logout" I can bounce between VirtuaWin sessions all like via Ctl-Alt-<Session #> and all is well until I try Ctl-Alt-4. If I exit VirtuaWin, that key combination does not kills the session, so this hints at this being a VirtuaWin problem not one in cygwin ... -- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tim Daneliuk tun...@tundraware.com PGP Key: http://www.tundraware.com/PGP/ -- 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/
