I have packages of links-2.x available on Cygwin Ports; just add the
following server to setup.exe:

ftp://sunsite.dk/projects/cygwinports/

Or manually download from /release/links.

You should add the option '+bs' when starting XWin, i.e.:

 run XWin -multiwindow -clipboard -silent-dup-error +bs

(This results from PAW-All-FAQ)

Best regards,

RE: overlapping windows in cygwin

2005-10-24 Thread Soong, SylokeJ
I'm quite sure Tweakui would cast its focus-follows-mouse
settings on every app window running in XP.

Ideally, we would want to have focus-follows-mouse only for cygwin.
Running a window mgr like wmaker rather than multi-window
would help accomplish that.

overlapping windows in cygwin

2005-10-24 Thread Fabrizio Salvatore

Hi,

I've just installed the latest version of cygwin, that I use to connect
from my WindowsXP laptop to our linux farms at the university. I run
startxwin.bat (as a shortcut from my desktop) and, from the cygwin
terminal window I then jump to wherever I need to. My startxwin.bat is
the default one that comes with the cygwin installation:

SET CYGWIN_ROOT=\cygwin

SET PATH=.;%CYGWIN_ROOT%\bin;%CYGWIN_ROOT%\usr\X11R6\bin;%PATH%

SET XAPPLRESDIR=/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/app-defaults
SET XCMSDB=/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/Xcms.txt
SET XKEYSYMDB=/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/XKeysymDB
SET XNLSPATH=/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/locale

if not exist %CYGWIN_ROOT%\tmp\.X11-unix\X0 goto CLEANUP-FINISH
attrib -s %CYGWIN_ROOT%\tmp\.X11-unix\X0
del %CYGWIN_ROOT%\tmp\.X11-unix\X0

:CLEANUP-FINISH
if exist %CYGWIN_ROOT%\tmp\.X11-unix rmdir %CYGWIN_ROOT%\tmp\.X11-unix

run XWin -multiwindow -clipboard -silent-dup-error

run xterm -fn 6x13 -g 140x24 -si -sk -sb -fg black -bg Wheat -T "cygwin
terminal Window" -e /usr/bin/tcsh -l

I'm simply using Windows as my window manager (not running twm or fvwm
or anything like that); when I have several windows, I would like to
focus on each one of them (and so activate them) by just pointing my
mouse to the window, instead of clicking on them. Does anyone know if it
is possible (and in case how to do it) ?

I also noticed that for some graphical programs (like PAW, for example,
the physics analysis workstatio developed at CERN), when an xterm window
is overlapped to the graphics window, the part of the plot that is
covered by the xterm is cancelled and when I focus back to the graphic
window (by clicking on it) my plot is partially deleted. Any idea why
this happens ?

Many thanks for any help/suggestion !

Thanks for your hints. I tried out a similar strategy. I uninstalled the Fritz
software and installed agnitum firewall, now Cygwin/X is running fine. In
parallel i contacted AVM (the vendor of Fritz software) and informed them of the
malfunction. Perhaps one day in future i can use fritz software again ...

It is a kind of firewall used with german DSL-router


Cygwin/X is known to conflict with some software firewalls, like 
ZoneAlarm, even if they are only installed and not running. It works 
fine, however, with the Windows XP SP2 Personal Firewall. You may just 
have to uninstall the Fritz software. Perhaps you could use a hardware 
firewall built into a router like a Linksys WRT54G instead of the Fritz one.

Or, if you're willing to expend a bit more effort, you could compile
Firefox against cygwin.dll (this is supported).


That was what one would have expected as a reply, since the usual notion
of an unqualified "decent" excludes the text-browsers.


But I'd go for links2.


ymmv (look under the hood ;-)
