Re: Window events skip past window manager?
Christopher, I'm just installed using Cygwin/X via Cygwin Setup: XFree86-base v 4.3.0-1 XFee86-bin v 4.3.0-8 Running on Win XP Pro. The version of XFree86-xserv is important. Options for XWin.exe are also good information. It's a great relief to see X again! I'm starting off with just the default twm. However, it seems that most window mouse and key events are not captured by the window manager, and instead are passed on to the app. For example: Button3 = : all : f.raiselower This works only for the root, the window titlebar, and in the iconmgr. In the window, it just passes Button3 on to the running application. I assume you mention twm and tested using .twmrc containing only the line you showed. It looks raiselower is working correctly on the release-44 server with no option given. F1 = : all : f.raiselower F2 = : all : f.warpto emacs Both of these work only on root. I've played with fvwm2 as well and experienced similar results. I also tried the F1 case and got success. Anyway to get this to work? I suspect that you are using a too old version of Cygwin/X or your .twmrc has some errors. Takuma Murakami
Re: Window events skip past window manager?
Christopher, Here's what xev reports when I hit F1 in the event tester window, does this shed any light? KeyPress event, serial 22, synthetic NO, window 0x81, root 0x3a, subw 0x0, time 71535359, (37,0), root:(72,469), state 0x10, keycode 67 (keysym 0xffbe, F1), same_screen YES, XLookupString gives 0 bytes: KeyRelease event, serial 22, synthetic NO, window 0x81, root 0x3a, subw 0x0, time 71535453, (37,0), root:(72,469), state 0x10, keycode 67 (keysym 0xffbe, F1), same_screen YES, XLookupString gives 0 bytes: Alexander Gottwald has the light. He tells that the state 0x10 indicates NumLock is on, which probably causes your problem. Try to turn off NumLock. Takuma Murakami
