I was overjoyed to see that the release notes for the new X server release
mention support for resizing the X desktop with the windows desktop.
Unfortunately, it didn't work :(
I modified the xwin windows shortcut to run as follows:
C:\cygwin\bin\run.exe /usr/bin/bash.exe -l -c /usr/bin/startxwin.exe --
-resize
You need to quote the entire command you are passing to bash after -c
i.e, try C:\cygwin\bin\run.exe /usr/bin/bash.exe -l -c
"/usr/bin/startxwin.exe -- -resize"
Then started the server at 1920x1200x32bpp while my ThinkPad was attached to
an external LCD.
When I detached the monitor to leave the office, X disappeared with signal 11
(log attached). Oddly, the log file didn't mention -resize as an argument to
XWin, but it did attempt to resize so I assume the feature was active.
