Re: Re: Cygwin/X 1.7 keyboard/mouse freeze shortly after Xwin login to Solaris
Somehow it was stuck in my head that the two issues (dtterm and CDE) were one in the same, but that obviously is not the case. I definitely never checked the FC12 behavior with CDE in XDMCP mode (which I should have), only dtterm in multiwindow mode. So I'll give this a try as soon as I get home and have access to both FC12 and Solaris and let you know if I see the same behavior.

Re: Re: Cygwin/X 1.7 keyboard/mouse freeze shortly after Xwin login to Solaris
Confirmed, I see the same behavior on FC12 with xorg-x11-server-Xorg-1.7.5-1.fc12.x86_64. In XDMCP mode, clicking a CDE panel up-triangle for the second time in a session causes a mouse/keyboard freeze.
