two new -multiwindow bugs

[Jack Tanner]

(By "new", I mean not discussed here before, not "new" as in only present in 
the most recent release.)

Thank you for your time and effort, Kensuke, Harold, et. al.

I have two monitors, monitor 2 is physically left of monitor 1. 
XFree86-xserv 4.2.0-28.

0) the repeated keystrokes bug is still present in this release
http://www.cygwin.com/ml/cygwin-xfree/2003-03/msg00059.html

1) window positioning bug

# Xwin -rootless -multiplemonitors -clipboard
# xterm -geometry +34+5

The xterm is positioned in the upper left-hand corner of monitor 2.

# Xwin -multiwindow -multiplemonitors -clipboard
# xterm -geometry +34+5

The xterm is positioned in the upper left-hand corner of monitor 1.

Presumably, the xterm should get positioned on the same monitor regardless 
whether I use -rootless or -multiwindow.

2) window title bug

# Xwin -rootless -multiplemonitors -clipboard
# xterm -geometry +34+5
# TERM=xterm; export TERM
# xterm -e bash -i -c "ssh -X user@remote"

The xterm window gets a title like "user@remote:~". This is very pretty and 
very useful when you open a gazillion xterms, like I do. (The remote machine 
has an /etc/bashrc that sets up $PROMPT_COMMAND appropriately. For my stock 
RedHat 8 install, it's PROMPT_COMMAND='echo -ne 
"\033]0;${USER}@${HOSTNAME%%.*}:${PWD/#$HOME/~}\007"'.)

# Xwin -multiwindow -multiplemonitors -clipboard
[snip. same xterm, TERM and ssh setup as above, but note -multiwindow, not 
-rootless Xwin invocation]

The xterm window gets the title "bash". Awful, boring title.

Best,
JT
