I have just upgraded my xfree-cygwin setup (Xwin serv Release 4.3.0-64,
etc.).
Some apps that worked through ssh without any problem with my previous
setup (Xwin serv Release 4.3.0-58, etc.) are now exiting with errors
messages related to an invalid Window parameter.
For example, in a xterm after an ssh connect with X forwarding, gftp
starts but as soon as I try to select a menu item, I get the following
error:
=======
[gourdeau@gourdeau1 gourdeau]$ gftp &
[1] 13684
[gourdeau@gourdeau1 gourdeau]$ Gdk-ERROR **: BadWindow (invalid Window
parameter)
serial 3647 error_code 3 request_code 38 minor_code 0
Gdk-ERROR **: BadAccess (attempt to access private resource denied)
serial 3648 error_code 10 request_code 102 minor_code 0
[1]+ Exit 1 gftp
=======
I have notice that the mouse cursor remains as an "X" and does not
change to an arrow when moved over the "gftp" application.
I am using the "startxwin.sh" script from the distribution (unmodified)
to start Xwin in multiwindow mode.
Should I specify some optional parameters or is this a known problem ?
