Cygwin/X 1.7 keyboard/mouse freeze shortly after Xwin login to Solaris

[Mark Veneziano]

I am having a problem similar to the one mentioned by Tony Bennett in a
couple of messages to this list back in January.

I use XWin -query to establish an XDMCP connection to a Solaris 10 host
(Tony's was AIX).  I log in to Solaris CDE without any issues.  Then as 
soon
as I open and close one of the CDE "panels", XWin no longer responds to
keystrokes or mouse clicks.  Moving the mouse around works fine, and
hovering the mouse over a window with a tooltip (for example the 
perfmeter)
still causes the tooltip to be displayed, but clicking and keystrokes 
are
ignored.  The only recourse is to terminate XWin from the X icon in the
system tray or from Task Manager.

As an experiment, I tried running GNOME rather than CDE as my desktop
session, and that worked a little better, but as soon as I started a
Motif-based application (IBM/Rational Apex Ada development environment), 
the
keyboard and mouse clicks died again.

Running CDE and Apex on the same Solaris box via Cygwin/X 1.5 works
flawlessly.  This problem only started occurring with 1.7.  I even tried
compiling xorg-xserver 1.7.4.0 from source to see if there was a problem
specific to 1.7.3.0, but it behaved the exact same way.

Thanks in advance for any suggestions!
