Strange. It is more than an year I use VirtuaWin (now 4.2) without
problems with X, and I use the not-patched XWin.exe, i.e. that from
original 1.8.0-1 package.
Perhaps you have a BLODA[*]?
I have MS Forefront client security, configured to omit the Cygwin
directories, but I really doubt that's the problem.
More details about what I do to reproduce the not-refreshing problem
(not the blank window problem, that seems to be fixed by the patched
XWin binary, and judging by other comments in this thread seems to be a
known issue unrelated to VirtuaWin).
- multiple xterms running on remote machines displaying locally,
over multiple 'ssh -Y' connections, i.e. I do
ssh -Y remote-machine xterm
- windows are on adjacent desktops, using overlapping areas of the
screen
- switch between the desktops, note how the windows on the new
desktop are still displaying the content of the windows on the
previous desktop. Alas, it doesn't always happen, but it
happens a lot.
In VirtuaWin I have "Static taskbar & Z order" set for "On desktop
change preserve". I did try using different hiding methods for XWin
windows in VirtuaWin, but didn't find anything that worked.
Cheers,
Simon
