I like people compiling the source themselves and fixing their own
problems. Thanks for this :)
However, it would be useful if you sent in a diff so that we knew sort
of what you were talking about and could maybe offer some tips. I guess
you got the code from CVS, in which case you could:
cd programs/Xserver/hw/xwin
cvs -z3 diff -u wincreatewnd.c > wincreatewnd.c.diff
If you got it from the src packages via setup.exe, then you would have
to untar the original source and do something like the following:
cd /usr/src
diff xc-orig/programs/Xserver/hw/xwin/wincreatewnd.c \
xc/programs/Xserver/hw/xwin/wincreatewnd.c \
> wincreatewnd.c.diff

I'm not sure why it works since I don't know what you changed. :) I
looked and saw comments at 244 and 245.
