I am running the latest version of Cygwin/X on a Windows 2000 machine. I launch it from a cygwin shell as follows:
export DISPLAY=:4 Xwin :4 -multiwindow & I then ssh to my remote linux box and launch kde. I find that this gives a multitude of errors such as: "MIT-SHM extension disabled due to lack of kernel support" and "X Error: BadWindow (invalid Window parameter) 3" Then, when I try to open almost any kde application, the app fails to appear (almost always) and gives the following error: "KLauncher could not be reached via DCOP". But when I use the -mwextwm switch instead of -multiwindow... no problems. I guess this means that I should use -mwextwm instead of -multiwindow, but why? ..Bob. ===== --Bob White-- home:727-490-7363, cell:727-463-6061 New (popup free!) photos of Polina: http://polina.70kg.com/ Everything that irritates us about others can lead us to an understanding of ourselves. - Carl Jung
