Hang related to clipboard processing
I am having a problem with the latest Cygwin/X11 software suite. I'm using it with Windows 2000. I use the program xfig to exercise the bug. This program can be installed from the cygwin setup.exe program. First case: -- I invoke X11 as setsid XWin -multiwindow -clipboard . I launch an xterm, and from there, I launch xfig. Within xfig, I select the tool for drawing rectangles. I launch the dialog box to select line color and fill color. While working in this dialog box, the X11 pointer will eventually disappear. I cannot do anything more at this point. I cannot change to focus to another X11 application. I cannot see the pointer in any X11 application. I have to kill XWin. Second case: --- I invoke X11 as setsid XWin -multiwindow . I sleep for three seconds (my little trick for increasing stability). Then I do setsid xwinclip . I launch an xterm and xfig as in the first case. I cause the X11 pointer to disappear as in the first case. Once again, all X11 applications are unusable. From a bash command window, I do a kill -hup on the running xwinclip process. This causes the X11 pointer to reappear. My X11 applications are now usable again.

The best way to do this is to grab the top few lines from /tmp/XWin.log and send them in. There are various things that could cause your version of the latest to in fact be quite old, so we need to get this information before your problem will be looked into further. Harold
