I found a great patch on this list from back in January - see

I'm not sure if 'great' here means 'I like the idea of it' or 'I've tested it and it works well', but thank you :-)


It would great to
see that patch make it to the source tree, but as far as I can tell that hasn't
happened. Anyone know any more details about that?

As it says at the end of that mail, "still needs more testing and work".


There's been a bit more work at [1], but beyond getting the patch itself to work correctly, it unfortunately seems that it also exposes some race conditions lurking in the -multiwindow code, which need also fixing before it's safe to include this patch, and somebody has to do that.

Does someone just need to
submit it to the cygwin-patches list?

No, the cygwin-patches list is for patches to the cygwin DLL. This is the correct list for discussion of patches to the Cygwin/X server.
