OK, must have been too early on Monday morning, as I knew about the xhost, but didn't do it. I now seem to have it working using the windows manager, this is a vast improvement as I can do radical things like resize and close windows! Thanks for the tips. Chuck At 10:26 AM 11/24/2003

Somebody needs to take it upon themself to port DDD and make appropriate fixes to make it work on Cygwin/X. This has not been done to date, as far as I can recall, and it is likely to need to be done before ddd will just work. I don't see a lot happening with DDD until someone steps forward
