The program I am trying to run is over secure ssh and requires the ability to
run emacs in a separate window from the terminal.  I ran it, but it was unable
to generate the separate window.  So I tried using the -multiwindow thing like
in the user guide (which I don't understand at all, probably because I have
about five weeks of experience with linux), and this is what I got:

A fatal error has occurred and Cygwin/X will now exit.  Please open
/tmp/XWin.log for more information.
Release 6.8.99.901-4
...
XWin was started with the following command line:
X :0 -multiwindow -clipboard
Fatal server error: cannot open log file /tmp/XWin.log

I tried fixing it by reinstalling everything, but that didn't work.  What do I
do?

Copy images from xapplication to msword with XFree86 as XServer

2007-06-20 Thread Javvaji, Ramareddy
Hi,

Is there any restriction or settings that one has to explicitly do with
Xwin.exe while trying to copy an image from an Xapplication to MS Word ?
First, with XFree86 as Xserver, can we able to copy image from an
Xapplication and paste it to MS word?
I get the following errors thrown to the console while attempting in
doing so:

errors
winClipboardFlushXEvents - SelectionNotify - XConvertSelection () failed
for CompoundText, aborting: 1
winClipboardFlushXEvents - SelectionNotify - XConvertSelection () failed
for UTF8String, aborting: 1
winProcessXEventsTimeout - Call to select () failed: 0.  Bailing.
winClipboardFlushXEvents - SelectionNotify - XConvertSelection () failed
for CompoundText, aborting: 1
winClipboardFlushXEvents - SelectionNotify - XConvertSelection () failed
for UTF8String, aborting: 1
winProcessXEventsTimeout - Call to select () failed: 0.  Bailing.
/errors


Xserver version is 6.8.99.901-4.


Thanks,
Javvaji

Check if /tmp/XWin.log exists. If so it probably has the wrong owner, so
delete it.

As far as i know only text can be transfered with the clipboard
mechanism between X11 and Windows.
