Hi Suhaib, it is interesting for the xfree people to have a link to a patched libxext relating to this thread http://sources.redhat.com/ml/cygwin-xfree/2001-q2/msg01466.html? If so I would send a mail to the cygwin-xfree list with a link to the kde-cygwin project on sourcforge, where one can find such a lib. Ralf
