I have a scheduled task running which connects to the server every 10 minutes to synchronize files and this causes problems over time.

I am using Cygwin/X version 1.5.3 (20090222), which I believe (?) is based on xorg 7.4. I use a program called "VirtualWin" to add virtual desktop functionality under XP. When switching between two desktops that contain Xorg windows, it frequently occurs that the contents of the windows one the new desktop are drawn with the contents of overlapping windows on the previous desktop. I've illustrated this here with some screenshots: http://qt.tn.tudelft.nl/~gsteele/desktop_emacs.jpg http://qt.tn.tudelft.nl/~gsteele/desktop_xterm.jpg I have also noticed this bug when using a program "TrueXMouse", which emulates full mouse focus under XP. It seems that using these programs, Xorg sometimes get confused about which window is on top of which, and draws the incorrect window contents. I've noticed some very old messages relating to window stacking order problems which seem to be the same thing I'm having: http://sourceware.org/ml/cygwin-xfree/2004-03/msg00849.html http://sourceware.org/ml/cygwin-xfree/2004-04/msg00093.html http://sourceware.org/ml/cygwin-xfree/2004-04/msg00340.html http://sourceware.org/ml/cygwin-xfree/2005-05/msg00191.html Is there a fix for this?

This issue hasn't really been progressed, because it's hard to duplicate without access to a remote system which shows this problem. A wireshark capture of the packets exchanged with the remote system leading up to the failure might be useful. -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://x.cygwin.com/docs/ FAQ: http://x.cygwin.com/docs/faq/ From jon.turney@dronecode.org.uk Wed May 13 20:05:00 2009 From: jon.turney@dronecode.org.uk (Jon TURNEY) Date: Wed, 13 May 2009 20:05:00 -0000 Subject: commnd line parameter -nolisten is incompatible wih -multiwindow ?

XWin -multiwindow or -clipboard will not be compatible with -nolisten tcp, as those options start clients (the Windows window manager integration window manager and the clipboard integration, respectively) which expect to be able to connect to the X server via TCP. I suppose this is a bug, in the sense that we ought to detect the incompatible arguments and terminate with an error, but anyone using -nolisten tcp should, I hope, be able to interpret the output from the server (saying "I tried to connect to 127.0.0.1:0.0 and failed") to work out what the problem is :-) -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://x.cygwin.com/docs/ FAQ: http://x.cygwin.com/docs/faq/ From jon.turney@dronecode.org.uk Wed May 13 20:19:00 2009 From: jon.turney@dronecode.org.uk (Jon TURNEY) Date: Wed, 13 May 2009 20:19:00 -0000 Subject: [1.7] Updated: cygwin-1.7.0-45 In-Reply-To: <49DC7148.2030207@users.sourceforge.net> References: <20090331111757.GA22043@calimero.vinschen.de> <200904021548.n32FmJff025399@mail.bln1.bf.nsn-intra.net> <49DC7148.2030207@users.sourceforge.net> Message-ID: <4A0B2B38.7080908@dronecode.org.uk> Yaakov (Cygwin/X) wrote: > Thomas Wolff wrote: >> Now that cygwin supports UTF-8 in a standard fashion, I think it's time >> to also add Unicode fonts to the Cygwin/X distribution.

Markus Kuhn's updated fonts have been incorporated into X.Org for some time, so unicode fonts with an extended range of glyphs are installed on your hard disk right now :-) Or at least, 'xlsfonts | grep iso10646-1' shows a number of fonts for me. -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://x.cygwin.com/docs/ FAQ: http://x.cygwin.com/docs/faq/ From jon.turney@dronecode.org.uk Wed May 13 20:28:00 2009 From: jon.turney@dronecode.org.uk (Jon TURNEY) Date: Wed, 13 May 2009 20:28:00 -0000 Subject: Pipe (|) symbol under spanish keybord in xterm In-Reply-To: References: Message-ID: <4A0B2D71.5080109@dronecode.org.uk> Gery Herbozo Jimenez wrote: > > Thanks for the tip.

Since then we have released over 30 package updated, including six patch revisions to the server. Work on preparing X.Org Server 1.6 and GNOME 2.26 for Cygwin 1.7 was well underway, but I have now hit a major snag. I regret to inform you that my computer is down and needs to be replaced. The power supply went, and as a proprietary computer (surplussed by a client a few years ago), the case and power supply are not of the standard ATX form factor. The only replacement option appears to be from the manufacturer itself, but it turns out that both the original and replacement parts are both relatively expensive and somewhat underpowered. (No wonder the original went!) I considered transplanting the computer into an old ATX case, but the case is manufactured in such a way that the motherboard cannot be extracted. So now I'm left to building from scratch. I would like to thank those who donated last fall on cgf's behest after the Cygwin/X transition. What now remains will go towards a new computer, but I need a few hundred more CAD in order to get a computer that will allow me to continue development for Cygwin 1.7 and update the many packages which were available until now. Donations may be made through PayPal; go to http://cygwinports.org/ or http://cygwin.com/donations.html and click on the "Make A Donation" button. Thank you for your support.

Those terminal windows are waiting for you to walk away so they can eat the xterms. 2) Space aliens are messing with you. They want to know if you have a juicy brain before they decide whether to eat it. 3) Housing prices will continue to rise at 20% per annum. Huh?! You want *sane* speculation? Are you sure that's not an oxymoron? How about: 1) The interface for detaching a program from its console window has changed slightly in Windows 7. A slight code change will be needed. In the meantime the console windows are harmless - setting the shortcut to run minimized should keep them off the screen if still in the program bar. HTH, Mike P.S. That was speculation. Hopefully someone will have a real answer soon. -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://x.cygwin.com/docs/ FAQ: http://x.cygwin.com/docs/faq/ From cgf-use-the-mailinglist-please@cygwin.com Sat May 16 03:18:00 2009 From: cgf-use-the-mailinglist-please@cygwin.com (Christopher Faylor) Date: Sat, 16 May 2009 03:18:00 -0000 Subject: Windows 7 RC1 and Cygwin 1.7 In-Reply-To: <83E753BE7B6A324ABB336245BAF1DAAC0C1A9BCF@mailserver.metatv-ds.metatv.com> References: <806a89db0905151313o4f160a1fg8bc1693fb3ce111@mail.gmail.com> <83E753BE7B6A324ABB336245BAF1DAAC0C1A9BCF@mailserver.metatv-ds.metatv.com> Message-ID: <20090516031833.GA21164@ednor.casa.cgf.cx> On Fri, May 15, 2009 at 01:22:23PM -0700, Mike Ayers wrote: >P.S.

There is a > workaround in the latest version of Cygwin 1.7.x. > > http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2009-05/msg00477.html That's not a workaround for the problem with consoles popping up, but a workaround for a W7 x64 specific problem. There's a bug in the W7 x64 console code (which appears to be mostly rewritten in W7 anyway) which breaks DLL initialization in child processes which have no copy of the original console handles from console startup anymore. This bug has been reported upstream and is marked as being resolved, which hopefully means it will be fixed in the final W7 release. As for the console windows popping up, thats a generic bug in the new console code in W7, affecting 32 and 64 bit versions. For some reason the AllocConsole call does not honor the fact that the application switched to another active WindowStation. Thus, console windows which are meant to be hidden in another, hidden WindowStation, are wrongly created on the desktop of the original, visible WindowStation. I reported this bug upstream as well, but unfortunately I got the reply that this bug won't be fixed in this Windows release. I'm still trying to convince Microsoft that this is a serious problem, though.

Corinna, Do you have a link to a bug report on Connect? I'll upvote it. And should I download the latest release in order to validate this, or are there testing builds? I haven't installed Cygwin on my 64-bit Win7RC box yet but I need to, can't use any computer long without an ssh client. Are there any other bugs you'd like validated and upvoted? I'm not exactly sure how to reproduce that issue you found with the cost to access directories on NTFS increasing exponentially with nesting level.... well repro might not be hard but pinpointing MS-provided code as the problem vs antivirus or just about anything else might not be the easiest thing. This new AllocConsole window station thing seems a lot more straightforward. After all, what's MVP status good for if not telling 'em they broke valuable cygwin stuff.

I use Cygwin 1.5.25-15 and have the same problem with "the console windows popping up" in W7 RC. Really annoying. Hope they will correct it before final release. I look forward to hearing about this problem solved or a workaround.
