I installed your xwinclip and it works fine. But in rootless mode I noticed that every time when the mouse enters a X-window the entry point is marked with semi-transparent darkgray square (~40 pixels). Not a problem - but ugly ;) Frank-Michael Cygwin Win95/NT Configuration Diagnostics

I don't understand what you want to do. The XServer is bound to a output device. So there is no way to let a cluster do the work for it. Ok i try it more detailed again to describe: An J2EE (Java) implemented Applicationserver act as an centralized Server instance for Java writen

Jean-Claude, No. XDMCP manages your entire X Windows session. Either you use it at startup or you don't use it at all. If all you want is a local window manager and remote applications, then you should launch XWin with your local window manager, then ssh into your remote host with X
