Notepad works fine for me. But youre' not really giving much detailed information about versions you are running. I use svn head+ on libgdiplus and mcs. You can also try all the testapps in the winforms module, for example wordpad, to see if that does the same.
We fixed a few possible X lookup situations not too long ago, maybe you're running into that. Also, winforms issues probably find a better audience at mono-winforms-list@lists.ximian.com Cheers, Peter -----Original Message----- From: "Thomas Harning Jr." <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Mono Development List" <mono-devel-list@lists.ximian.com> Date: 21 November, 2005 15:17 Subject: [Mono-dev] Managed.Windows.Forms locks X11 up >When I run the mailclient.exe demo... it seems to operate fine >(excepting the failed mail attempts.. though that could just be due >to GMail requiring a certain form of login.) > >The notepad.exe demo, however, causes X11 to hard lock, keys become >entirely unresponsive [even terminal-changing combinations stop >working].
