Re: Strange redraw problem with multiwindow
Alexander Gottwald [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: Somehow the workarea got stripped. Actually, it seems that I found the cause. I'm using Next-like application launcher (BrLaunch) that uses left side of the screen to display button bar (have been using it for years and so forgot to mention it in the first message as something unusual). It resizes the desktop, so that when a window is maximized, it doesn't cover the buttons. Seems that X server in multiwindow mode gets confused.

Re: Windows Manager
You need rootless mode (add -rootless to X server command-line).

gcc, Write and Modify permissions (ntsec)
I've noticed that executables generated by gcc (cygwin 1.3.17-1, gcc 3.2-3, binutils 20021117-1, Windows XP) have Read, ReadExecute and Write permissions for group and others, ls -l shows their attributes as -rwxrwxrwx . It seems rather strange - I guess that Write permission for other users is not necessary. Another oddity is that chmod always toggles Write and Modify permisisons together, while gcc (or ld) sets only Write permission without Modify. Is this an intended behaviour ?
