Problems with xedit, xcalc, xfontsel, emacs

[Dirk.Buehler@DaimlerChrysler.com]

Hi, 

after a recent update of my cygwin installation on windows 2000, I have 
experienced the same problems with xedit and xcalc, as described previously in 
http://sources.redhat.com/ml/cygwin-xfree/2002-06/msg00372.html . 

Specifically the problems are:

- xedit fails with "Error: Shell widget fileMenu has zero width and/or height"
- xcalc shows incorrect layout
- xfontsel shows incorrect layout and displays "Warning: app-defaults file not 
properly installed."
- emacs does not start up but consumes nearly 100% of the cpu time

I have not been using ntsec so far, and the proposed changes to /etc/passwd do 
not seem to have an effect on the behaviour of the above applications.  I did 
not have the xterm problem.

I would be very grateful for any hints to resolve the problem.

Best regards,
Dirk
