I'm not clear if you are saying these bugs occur if you have Xwin running when you dock/undock (i.e. this is a bug in how XWin handles a change in the number of monitors)? Does restarting XWin after dock/undock still show these problems? Can you please provide your /var/log/xwin/XWin.0.log Can you provide a bit more detail about your monitor geometry (i.e. size of the monitors, is the 'primary' monitor to the left or right of the 'secondary' monitor)? -- Jon TURNEY Volunteer Cygwin/X X Server maintainer -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
