Solved: Switching from XWin to Windows slow (on Windows XP)

[Jeroen Habets]

Hi,

I had a problem that switching from within XWin to Windows XP took upto 7
seconds. Looked all over but couldn't find a solution until I read the
following knowledge base article 'OFFXP: What Is CTFMON and What Does It
Do?':

http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=KB;EN-US;Q282599

After I killed ctfmon switching went as smooth as a whistle.
(BTW At first I suspected xwinclip or wmaker but neither were the culprit
;-)
