Problem - cursor keys do not work without "-kb" in Java applications with Dvorak layout. What should I do?
Hello, I am using Dvorak layout on Windows and connect to Solaris box with XWin. If I do not add "-kb" option cursor keys do not work in all Java applications, but the option also forces me to use default qwerty layout. The layout was working some time ago, then I updated Cygwin to the latest stable version (including xorg-x11-base 6.7.0.0-8) and cursor keys stopped working. What can I do? - Alexey. Ps. "-clipboard" froze XServer too.
Pointer bug in multiwindow mode (native window manager)
Using the current Cygwin X Server in multiwindow mode (i.e. Windows native window manager), I get the X pointer when the mouse is in the menu, toolbar and scrollbar areas of Gnome applications. The problem goes away when I switch to rootless mode and run another window manager, such as metacity. The "About..." box doesn't tell me what version I'm running, but it explicitly calls itself a work in progress so I'll refrain from submitting a bug report for that, but I upgraded Cygwin this morning. Cheers, Tom

Cut&Paste in xterm
Dear all, happy my question about possibilty to start windows applications direclty has provoked rather vivid discusion. Now for a change extremly dumb question: Cut & paste inside xterm of cygwin X-server does not work neither traditional highlight and point to where you want to have it method, not ctrl-c/ctrl-v method. So, what is the trick? With Best Regards Ariel Burbaickij -- "Sie haben neue Mails!" - Die GMX Toolbar informiert Sie beim Surfen! Jetzt aktivieren unter http://www.gmx.net/info

compilation of openbox-3.2 wm
Has anyone successfully built openbox 3.2 for cygwin? Is the performance better than Openbox .99? Linking fails in the last step. Thanks, Charles -- Dr. Charles L.

Are the debug symbols for the cygwin1.dll still available?
Others would know better than me...

No. There is currently no possibility to do this. The windows application
uses GDI to draw to the screen.
There is of course the possibility to catch the GDI calls at some point in
the windows layers and translate them to X11 but there is currently no
project which has managed to create at least code in alpha stage.
Sawanaka did that.
He ported PEACE on BSD to Cygwin, it seems to be called Cygpeace.
His site is wrote in Japanese. Please use online translation :)

Wow! This is amazing! I wish I had known about it before ...
Still works, I only had to patch it to set the DEFAULT_CHARSET to Ansi
(see ttfont.cc, line 1140 or so for where to patch this)
Basic instructions for those not wanting to do the translation (actually
this is all in the page):
Download detours.exe from http://research.microsoft.com/sn/detours/
wget http://www.d1.dion.ne.jp/~sawanaka/peace/cygpeace-030316.tar.gz
Then make cygpeace:
tar zxvf cygpeace-030316.tar.gz
cd peace/dll/cygpeace
make
make install
Note that you make it in the cygpeace directory, don't try make in the
ui.so.dll directory
To extract and make detours (requires Visual C++)
$ ./detours.exe ([unzip to folder:] ./detours)
$ cd detours
$ rm lib/detours.pdb
$ nmake
$ cp samples/bin/withdll.exe /usr/local/bin/
To run a standard windows program using the hook to display in XWindows:
$ export PEACE_FONTPATH=`cygpath -u $WINDIR/Fonts`
$ export DISPLAY=:0.0
$ XWin -rootless &
$ openbox & # this is just to run a window manager
$ withdll -d:peacehook.dll winmine
To compile a program to use the hook interface directly:
$ cat msgbox.c
#include
int main()
{
MessageBox(NULL, "test", NULL, MB_OK);
return 0;
}
$ gcc msgbox.c -o msgbox -L/usr/local/lib -lui.so
$ export DISPLAY=:0.0
$ ./msgbox
Voila. It even works on a remote X session from Linux :-)
