At least to get rid of the extra window, i don't know if this changes the hotkey problem. Great thread, but you're right, it doesn't solve the hotkey problem. The Windows Shell seems to remember the main program window started by a shortcut hotkey. If you press the hotkey a second time, Windows tries to activate the window in some way. If that particular window has disappeared however, it will try to start a second instance of the program (I seem to remember there was a bug in (win32) gvim related to this awhile back). I have a fix that will do for now: The Shortcut attached to my preferred hotkey (Ctrl+Alt+/) runs: \cygwin\usr\X11R6\bin\run.exe C:\bin\Xfghack.exe [Dunno what run.exe does, but a console window momentarily flashes by without it.] Xfghack is a short C program: HWND w = FindWindow (0, Cygwin/X - 0:0); return w? !SetForegroundWindow(w): system (setsid XWin -clipboard ); Works nicely. (The thread you pointed out above helpfully mentions both setsid and run, so thanks for that!) I was going to write The real solution of course is for XWin to have an option not to create the console window..., but Xfghack is slightly more useful in that it will bring the X session to the front even if it wasn't originally started by the Windows Shell via the shortcut, or even if the window has not got a title bar (I couldn't use -nodecoration before).

cygwin Xterm and mysqlclient - stdout/stdin/stderr problem ?
I am using mysqlclient on WinXP. This works well with in the standard cygwin bash shell. Using the xterm with the cygwin-xfree the client hangs after initiation at the command line. I have upgraded to the most recent version of cygwin. Prior to this the output would appear in the parent bash shell, rather than in the xterm. I looks a little like a problem with redirection of stdout ... Has anyone else experience this problem. There was some discussion regarding the way stdout is handled in xterms with Windows on the mailing list. http://sources.redhat.com/ml/cygwin-xfree/2003-05/msg00392.html If I ssh from the xterm to a remote linux system the mysql client works as would be expected. thanks Richard -- Richard Piper Web: http://icu.rnsh.org Mobile: 0438-120860 Sydney: 9926-8617 Kippax: 6550-5117 Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] GPG key ID: F6DFFB33 @ wwwkeys.pgp.net Key fingerprint: 3FB8 8355 3AAA 84C3 D548 8FFF EFDB C6B5 F6DF FB33

Problem with X forwarding by openssh-3.8p1
I have installed the lastest X11 binaries, including xorg-x11-xwin 6.7.0.0-3, together with openssh-3.8p1. The rest of my cygwin installation is also up-to-date, including cygwin1.dll version 1.5.9-1. I use startxwin.bat to start XWin using -multiwindow -clipboard. I login to a remote Linux server using ssh -X and start a Matlab session. The Matlab flash screen comes up, but when the flash screen disappears, there is only a menu bar located at the top left corner of the screen. If I choose maximize, the Matlab command window comes up but I am not able to type in any commands. If I downgrade to openssh-3.7.1p2-2, the problem disappears. The sshd_config file is identical in both cases. There are other problems with X forwarding under openssh-3.8p1, but since I am now using openssh-3.7.1p2-2, I cannot reproduce the error messages. I don't know whether this is considered an openssh-3.8p1 problem or a X server problem, but there appears to be some incompatibility issue here.

Re: ttmkfdir no longer needed
Due to this I am going to pull the link to ttmkfdir from our 'Ported Software' page. Perhaps someone would like to write a postinstall script that creates symlinks to the Fonts folder for Windows under /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/windows, One note: In the thread proposal for using windows truetype fonts I suggested to use the /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/truetype dir for truetype fonts, because this is the default for qt and kde. Are there any objectivities using this instead of /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/windows ? I object. :-) Shouldn't we be consistent with established Unix practice and put any local fonts in /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/local? Cheers Michael

Re: XWinrc Bugs
Howdy Rodrigo, First, thanks for writing the man page updates. The version I saw was missing some of the new items that were added, now I have no excuse not to add them myself. ;) It's hard to do any Windows 95 testing, actually it's hard to get any Win95 API documentation anymore (MS seems to be updating their Platform SDK and removing any reference to W95 if a function is updated). For your problem with the system menus, I really believe this is due to something else completely, especially when you ended up without the 3 system menu items in all windows, after a reboot. Here's why: . There are no DeleteMenuor RemoveMenu calls anywhere in prefs.c All we ever do is a reset-to-default GetSystemMenu(hwnd,TRUE) call, everything else is just an InsertMenuItem() call. . Even if somehow you ended up messing with the golden system menu that could only last until a reboot. There's no UpdateResource call until you get to an NT based OS, a change to a GDI resource can't be written into a system .DLL file The removal of the 3 menu items would also make the max/min/close buttons disappear, since Windows reads each window's system menu to determine whether or not to enable those buttons. Maybe you've hit GDI heap exhaustion? IIRC the easiest way to see GDI and SYSTEM heap free is to (seriously!) run Solitaire, then do Help-About... Running out of heap makes bad, bad things happen under W95/98/ME. I think I *may* understand the ICONS stuff: I think until W98 only 16-color or black-and-white icons were allowed for applications. Can you please try pointing to a Black-and-White or 16-color .ICO file? You might be able to find some in your c:\Windows folder, but I can't remember any specific names. You could also try an app which has its own B-n-W icon like xcalc and see if that always works, and compare that to an app with a true-color icon like some KDE app...

Re: XWinrc Bugs
Oh yeah, I am looking over winprefs.c to see if there is anything untowards going on elsewhere in it. Maybe a GDI call somewhere returns a valid error under W98+ for invalid data or out-of-mem, but under W95 it kills the GDI.

I noticed in the process of updating that the heirarchy changed with the addition of the X11 category and I now have the xorg-x11-XXX packages installed (versions 6.7.0.0-X) The problem is now that when I start X and try to run things suck as xclock and xterm I get a windows dialog box appearing telling me that xterm is unable to locate the DLL cygXft-2.dll in the specified path and lists the search path which includes C:\cygwin\bin, C:\cygwin\usr\X11R6\bin plus a whole lot of other windows directories.
