I am running the latest version of Cygwin/X on a Windows 2000 machine. I
launch it from a cygwin shell as follows:
export DISPLAY=:4
Xwin :4 -multiwindow &
I then ssh to my remote linux box and launch kde. I find that this gives a
multitude of errors such as:
"MIT-SHM extension disabled due to lack of kernel support" and
"X Error: BadWindow (invalid Window parameter) 3"
Then, when I try to open almost any kde application, the app fails to appear
(almost always) and gives the following error:
"KLauncher could not be reached via DCOP".
But when I use the -mwextwm switch instead of -multiwindow... no problems.
I guess this means that I should use -mwextwm instead of -multiwindow, but why?
..Bob.
