Exclusive window manager for -multiwindow
I have committed a change for -multiwindow window manager to the xorg tree. Now the wm should be able to detect another wm and the others can detect it. This change corresponds to the second item (Window manager detection) in the To-Do list. To do so the internal wm grabs ButtonPressMask, which is allowed only one client at once. Thus other wm's will fail to obtain the mask and immediately exit when invoked. Takuma Murakami

simple problem with 2 monitors
Hello. I've been loocking for any answer in the mailist, but I've no found any usefull data for my problem: I'm using a laptop with an nvidea, and I usually work with 2 monitors. (1024x768 and other with 1280x1024) I use an extended Desktop: I have in my main monitor the taksbar, but I can move any window to any of the two monitors. If I exec: $ XWin.exe -multiwindow -multiplemonitors and call any X-application (xterm, by example) the window appears in the main monitor. But if I try to move it to the second monitor, I can't work with it (the window only shows a white rectangle) I've try with a lot of configurations (with -screen, with and wihtout -multiplemonitors and so on, but I can't get the solution. So... Can anyone help me? Thansk for your help. Alberto Sáez

RE: simple problem with 2 monitors
Though I do not use multiple monitors and may be missing something about the way you are doing things, I think that what you are missing is that in multiwindow mode, each X window is a separate MS window. There is also a root X window that is usually hidden, but that you can see, and would see as a dark background with, potentially, some white rectangles that may or may not show something else. There would be no menu bars on these. My guess is that you moved the root window to your other monitor, but did not move any of the X windows there. Is that possible? - Andy -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Alberto Sáez Torres Sent: Wednesday, February 11, 2004 12:10 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: simple problem with 2 monitors Hello.

Strange problem with shadowed window
I'm seing a strange problem. When I open a window in Evolution to write an email, there is sometimes a partially obscured shadow window behind(to the left) of my window. Ca. 30 pixels are visible. Stranger yet, the partially obscured window appears to be functional. If I navigate the mouse over the buttons of the partially obscured shadow window, I see buttons being highlighted. There is a different problem I sometimes run into, that smells similiar. When I open Evolution, the mouse will sometimes be offset to the left and above of the mouse hotspot by ~50x50 pixels. The problem goes away when I minimize and maximize the Window. More speculation Windows XP animates windows (i.e. resizes in multiple steps) to create a zoom effect. Could this be a animated(zoom) window race condition? I.e.: 1. XFree is notified of change in window size 2. XFree gets window size 3. Windows resizes the window again 4. XFree clears the changed flag The fix would be to swap 2 and 4. This does not explain the shadowed window. Øyvind
different resolutions on different monitors
I am using 2 monitors, one with 1280x1024 and the other with 1024x768. When I start the X server using the -multiwindow option then start an app (such as xterm) the application always opens in the top corner of the smaller monitor at a point where the top of the window is off the screen. I can't get to the title bar to move the window so in order to see everything I have to tile or cascade the windows which is a pain. Is there some way to set the default location on the screen the windows open? Thanks for the help. -Chad

GDI object leak with remote emacs
I don't know if this is related to the problems that people are experiencing with local copies of emacs but I'm seeing a GDI object leak with remote invocations of emacs that are routed back to my X server. Basically, I run cygwin/XFree86 on my local workstation, and I start an emacs on a Unix server that is displayed on my X server here. When using emacs, everytime I open a file, I can see that the XWin.exe processes gains a few GDI objects, but killing that buffer in emacs doesn't free them. Exiting emacs doesn't free them either. Once the leak grows enough (around 1500 GDI objects in XWin.exe) I start getting repaint problems and I have to kill X and restart it. This only started occuring when I updated my cygwin package last week. Below is my cygcheck output.

This could be a bug in the -multiplemonitors implementation. Please post
the exact command you use to invoke XWin.exe.
Is there some way to set the default location on the screen the windows
open?
Thanks for the help.

As a temporary workaround, look into the -geometry option that any X app
should support ('PAGER=less -p GEOMETRY man X' should do it).
