Tracking Down Disappearing Cursors

2004-05-12 Thread Wilks, Dan
After a bit of sleuthing I think I understand why the cursor is disappearing inside X windows after a remote desktop session. Unfortunately I don't understand enough of the motive of the current code in order to suggest a fix. It appears that there is some sort of misunderstanding between wincur

RemoteDesktop/Clipboard Crash Patch

2004-05-03 Thread Wilks, Dan
Symptom: After coming back from remote desktop session first copy operation might crash XWin when using -clipboard (maybe requiring -multiwindow too). Cause: XWin becomes its own next window in the clipboard chain after trying to ensure that it is still in the clipboa

Remote Desktop, MultiWindow & Cursors

2004-04-28 Thread Wilks, Dan
Looks like the newer versions of XWin are having cursor problems when coming out of remote desktop (XP Pro). After a remote desktop session the cursor completely disappears in the X window client area. Here's what I'm seeing: - Run a cygwin bash shell - XWin -multiwindow -clipboard - Run xterm o

I've just recently started using Cygwin/X but occasionally paste from Win32 to X fails. I'm using -multiwindow and -clipboard. I tracked down one source of the failures: XP's remote desktop. Remote desktop does not properly restore the clipboard chain when it shuts down. Result is that XWin no

Hey all With that out of the way... Last Friday (4/15/04) I updated my Cygwin tools (longtime user) and installed (for the first time) all the Cygwin/X servers & apps (setup/x11-base 6.7.0.0-7, cygcheck XFree86-xserv 4.3.0-68). I got up and running over a PuTTY-supplied ssh tunnel without too muc
