xwinclip not waiting for x server startup (was xwinclip authorisation)

Hi Shane, Cygwin/Xfree and XDMCP work correctly. I only get a problem when running a local X client at the same time as a remote X client (via XDMCP). It turns out a /etc/X0.hosts file containing a 'localhost' entry is needed. Also xwinclip does not wait for the X server to complete startup,

Hi Harold, Thanks for your enlightening note. I've placed a 30 second delay in my code which kludges around the problem. I like your suggestion of retrying xwinclip every, say 4 seconds, until it connects. I'm still puzzled by the security issues. Does XDMCP cause the localhost to lose

_IceLastMajorOpcode symbol should be added to libICE-def.cpp file. I missed it originally. It is exported in libICE.so at Linux and other UNIX platforms. You can do an nm on libICE on a UNIX box. Suhaib -Original Message- From: Ralf Habacker [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent:
