Re: rootless & multiwindow mode & Windows 2000sp1


Barrow,

First of all, you do NOT want to use "run.exe" with "XWin.exe". run.exe is not only not needed, but it in fact is known to cause problems with XWin.exe.

-rootless and -multiwindow are mutually exclusive --- you use one or the other, but never both.

-emulate3buttons is misspelled.

You should be running without -rootless and yes, there should be a dummy root window.

I've been searching the Mailing list for Xfree and
I've not found any reference to my problem, it still
seems like a newbie question however,

I'm running Windows 2000 SP1 I have only found
sniplets of information on the operation of rootless &
multi window operation,

I'm running Xwin.exe directly from the start menu for
debuging purposes, I intend to put it in run
eventualy.

I run with the command line:
C:\cygwin\usr\X11R6\bin\run.exe
C:\cygwin\usr\X11R6\bin\XWin.exe -rootless
-multiwindow -nowinkill -unixkill -clipboard
-emualte3buttons 50

When I do this X apps are not managed by windows,
however, I took the rootless out, and it works fine,
however there is a dummy rootwindow. when the root
window is then opened the X apps are unmanaged.. is
this a bug or a feature?
