And the tool-tips for the top Gnome panel do not appear at all. I have the following configuration: A Windows/XP SP3 host with Cygwin, updated yesterday (2008-11-29). A Debian Linux machine where I run the Gnome desktop. This is now displayed using the new Cygwin XWin server. Using its local display, the Linux/Gnome system behaves correctly, when I point to a 'close' button then and after half a second, the tool-tip with "Close Window" appears and stays on the screen for about 4 seconds. This is used with Debian Linux: xserver-xorg-core 2:1.4.2-9 xserver-xorg-video-nv 1:2.1.10-1 On the remote display, connected to the Windows machine running Cygwin/X 7.4, the tool-tip flashes 2 times per second when I point at a Gnome close button, and flashing does not stop after 4 seconds. When I point Matthijs Melchior 2008-11-30T15:45:47 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.os.cygwin.xfree/18756 -silent-dup-error is still broken, despite my previous attempt to fix it, which only worked with -nolock.

I upgraded to the new Xorg last week and I have had one really annoying issue ever since. Something about the new XTerm is messing up vim syntax coloring. With vim I have syntax on and background=dark and usually the coloring look like this: http://nd.dyndns.org:443/downloads/correct_coloring.PNG but now when I open a file in vim it looks like that for a split second then a ton of gibberish quickly scrolls in the right side of the vim ruler and when it stops my syntax is colors are all messed up and are colored like this: http://nd.dyndns.org:443/downloads/bad_coloring.PNG Now I think this is a problem with XTerm not vim because when I ssh into other machines and run vim there, with different configuration files, the same thing happens. Also if I remove my .vimrc and start vim, and manually do :syntax on and :set background=dark it seems fine. It seems like there could be something going on with the inital opening of vim a Nick Deubert 2008-11-24T16:34:56 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.os.cygwin.xfree/18697 After upgrading to the latest Cygwin (xorg-server 1.5.3-3), all my xterms under twm have the title "Untitled", even the twm icon manager. Using xterm -title, or the PS1 shell variable, has no effect. However, when I start Cygwin in "multiwindow" mode, the xterm titles are correct.

To reproduce them, you should not need to rebuild ROOT under X11R7.4 but it is sufficient to install pre-built binaries, even if they result from a build under the previous X11R6.99: the 'effects' are the same. To install pre-built binaries, you have to do the following: wget ftp://root.cern.ch/root/root_v5.21.04.win32gcc-gcc-3.4.tar.gz tar -xzf root_v5.21.04.win32gcc-gcc-3.4.tar.gz -C /usr/local/ cd /usr/local export ROOTSYS=/usr/local/root export PATH="${PATH}:/usr/local/root/bin" export LD_LIBRARY_PATH="${LD_LIBRARY_PATH}:/usr/local/root/lib" cd root/tutorials/ Now the problems. I have always started the X server with the option '+bs', i.e. XWin -multiwindow -clipboard -silent-dup-error +bs (for example with a startxwin-2.bat which differs from the default only by '+bs') It enables the 'backingstore' which enable the 're-display' when two X windows are overlapped (otherwise they appear corrupted).

It is *very* widely supported[1], and while XRandR is supposed to replace it, actual implementation and usage may be some time off. I also think that there may be some potential flaws in windowed multiplemonitor mode that Xinerama support would fix. While the current behaviour makes sense in multiwindow mode, I'm not sure that it does in windowed mode. Since X window managers have no sense of what is really happening in that case, placing a dialog in the centre of the X display could easily land on the seam between two monitors. (I know, I tried it.) With Xinerama support, however, they would have the necessary information to DTRT. I think that the implementation may be simpler than we thought. To see the situation as it stands: 1) Build and install xineramaproto; 2) Remove the --disable-xinerama flag from xorg-server and rebuild; 3) Build and install libXinerama; 4) Remove --wit Yaakov (Cygwin Ports 2008-11-23T07:03:42 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.os.cygwin.xfree/18673 -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA256 The following packages have been updated in the Cygwin net distribution: *** xorg-cf-files-1.0.2-7 This release fixes the definitions of MANPATH, FONTDIR, and ENCODINGSDIR.
