Reproducing the cygwin X problems

[Mike Ayers]

	Lately, I have been having problems with the cygwin X server and cut-n-paste.  I have reported a connection to vncclient (RealVNC) - in fact, I don't recall having problems with vncclient not running.  These days I use one or the other - so far, so good.

	Unfortunately, though, I am in the habit of cutting and pasting between vncclient and cygwin X, so if I can be of any tracking the problem down, please let me know.

	If I have vncclient and an xterm running, simply selecting text on the xterm is sufficient to cause the problem, which I confirm by raising the xterm over the vncclient, then clicking the vncclient to raise it (it then exhibits responsiveness problems).

	Today I noticed a new problem, which may or may not be related:

[SNIP]
mike-ayers-lap> ssh -Y -l mayers mikeayers-linux-2
Warning: No xauth data; using fake authentication data for X11 forwarding.
Last login: Thu Feb 19 11:54:55 2009 from 192.168.2.87
mikeayers-linux-2> export DISPLAY=192.168.2.87:0
mikeayers-linux-2> xterm
Xlib: connection to "192.168.2.87:0.0" refused by server
Xlib: No protocol specified

xterm Xt error: Can't open display: 192.168.2.87:0
mikeayers-linux-2> 
[/SNIP]

	This same technique used to work.  The only changes I have made since it last worked was (1) update cygwin, including X, and (2) add " -- -multiwindow -clipboard" to my invocation of startx (I used to get those by default).

	Let me know if you have trouble reproducing this.


	HTH,

Mike
