Well, I've kicked the -63 server around a fair bit this weekend and it
seems to be holding up very well. No crashes, and generally no unpleasant
surprises. I have still managed to activate the 2 second timeout code,

Harold: you wanted a test case for the clipboard hang. I can do it this
way, using only xterm and notepad:
1) open xterm and notepad
2) type some stuff in the xterm
3) left click and drag to select text in the xterm (it gets highlighted) -
let go of the mouse, and the text stays highlighted in
xterm 185-3 doesn't seem to have freetype/xft/fontconfig/etc support. it

I can't reproduce this at all.
The behavior I get is that in step 5 if you press Ctrl+V nothing happens
(no delay, no pasting) and if you right click the context menu entry for
Paste is greyed out (since X released ownership of the selection).
So, what version of Windows are you running
Harold: Yes, I did reboot. I've rebooted again and found a variety of
peculiar clipboard related behaviours that are somewhat tricky to

I've been using xterm with lucida console and up until the recent versions
of cygwin-xfree it worked fine. With the latest versions, however, there
were problems with the vertical spacing and overwriting and stuff.
Characters with descenders (g q etc) would get slightly overwritten by
characters
I always used to have the line:
xterm*ColorMode:True
in my ~/.Xdefaults and it worked.
With the last few versions of cygwin/xfree it started complaining

Although the xterm actually seemed to work ok, even doing the ColorMode
stuff right.
Thanks, that's very interesting. I found that the suggested xset r off
worked well for me, by completely disabling the X autorepeat stuff, since
there's already windows autorepeat. But it's good to get to the bottom of
these subtle race-condition type bugs.

On the other hand, the 24 x 24 icon I made looks like crap. I just

As for the scaling, check out the bottom of winmultiwindowwindow.c.

So cygwin/xfree is very nice indeed, but I still can't make fonts look as
good as they do natively on windows XP with cleartype. I've read the
xfree86 font de-uglifaction howto, played with XftConfig, enabled
sub-pixel antialiasing, downloaded and built my own version of the latest
freetype dll
Making the icons work was a really good idea. But it doesn't seem to work
right for me - the icons appear, but only in 2 colours - transparent and
white. Presumably the mask is converted correctly but not the
icon itself. I checked with xclock, oclock, xditview, xcalc, xload.
It only happens
Looking through the archives it seems that people were discussing
something like this about a year ago (see the double keystroke effects
with XP thread), but I'm not sure if this is quite the same thing, since
that report talks about problems only with normal-speed typing and I get
