RE: xwinclip-Test07 does not work with XWin -query

["Harold L Hunt II" <huntharo at msu dot edu>]

Sanori,

Let me tell you, I wrote xwinclip and I still don't fully understand how to
make it work well when using -query.

I can tell you that running xhost on your Windows machine won't help
anything.  What you need to do is run xhost in a terminal that is running
within your -query session.  That should setup XWin.exe on your machine to
accept connections from local clients.  The reason you can run xhost on your
Windows machine is that not even xhost has permission to connect to XWin.exe
at that point, so xhost cannot modify the access control list.

I hope that helps, let us know if it does.

Harold

Hello list,

Thank you, the developers and users of XFree86-cygwin.
Most of the cases XFree86-cygwin works fine on my computer.
But, I want to tell a problem that I have got in stuck.

I'm using Windows XP. I succeeded copy&paste text between Windows
and X window using xwinclip. But I failed copy&paste when I start X
with -query option. The error messages of xwinclip is as follows:

	UnicodeSupport - Windows NT/2000/XP
	Could not open display, try: 1, sleeping: 4
	Could not open display, try: 2, sleeping: 4
	Could not open display, try: 3, sleeping: 4
	Failed opening the display, giving up

I added my host to X control list, using "xhost" and tried
"xwinclip -display :0" but it gives same error message.
Since "xclipboard -display :0" worked, I bet I did not wrong
in X control list.

I don't know how the xwinclip.exe works.
Please give me some information or pointers about this problem.
