Re: extending desktop to a second monitor
Hi, I've no idea if this is a Cygwin/X issue ! When I run cygwin, I use Windows as window terminal: %RUN% XWin -multiwindow -clipboard -silent-dup-error +bs), I'm not opening another window terminal on top of Windows (I mean, all my windows are being opened on my Windows desktop). It seems to me that Windows is capable of handling the multi-screen environment (I can open any application on Windows and it works on both monitors), but Cygwin is not: if I work on the login xterm that I've moved to the second monitor I can type and work on it without any problem, but as soon as I execute a program that sends a separate window to my desktop it only works if this window runs on my laptop's monitor. I'll post the same question on the other forum as well, just in case. Thanks !

strange behaviour of xemacs
Hi, I have a Windows XP laptop where I've installed cygwin. I open an xterm using rxvt and log on some linux box: D:\cygwin\bin\rxvt.exe -ls -si -sk -sb -fg black -bg Wheat -fn 7x14 -g 120x24 -T "linappserv2.pp.rhul.ac.uk" -e ssh -X -Y -l linappserv2.pp.rhul.ac.uk I now run xemacs on the linux box: xemacs test.txt At this point I cannot use any of the xemacs commands; for example if I do Ctrl spacebar (that should set the starting point for selecting a portion of the file) the xemacs window starts going berserk and I cannot even close it using Ctrl x Ctrl c. My only chance to do anything is to close the window clicking the X at the upper right corner. The behaviour is the same whatever linux box I log-in to and also if I run xemacs opening an xterm on my laptop. Any idea what it might be ?

Please don't reply to a random message to ask an unrelated question. Even if you change the subject line the 'References' and/or 'In-Reply-To' email headers will cause your message to be a part of the unrelated thread in threaded email clients and web archives, as you can see here: <http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2006-02/threads.html#00766> You can set the number of scrollback lines with the -sl argument or the saveLines resource. I recommend using resources so that you don't have to supply a million command line arguments to rxvt on each invocation. Just stick them in ~/.Xdefaults instead. rxvt has about a million options you can tweak, and they are all documented in the man page.

overlapping windows in cygwin
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 !
