Hi,
I can confirm that problem.
Additionally, if I first start the cygwin x-server and open some X
windows and then start virtual dimension, these X windows are handled
correctly.
There are icons on the virtual desktop display and these windows are
located on one virtual desktop.
But for every additional X window that I open after vitual dimension is
started, the described problem occurs as described by Frank.
What happens there???
Regards,
Eberhard
From: Frank Poppen
I'm using virtual dimension (v0.94) and cygwin for quite some many
years now with (used to be) no issue (Windows 7 and Windows XP
before). During an upgrade of my machine I also installed the most
current version of cygwin and its x-server (1.12.2). Since this time
an xterm (or any other window) will show up on all my virtual
dimension desktops as if it was attributed to "All desktops"
Worse: Virtual Desktop does not show any xterm-icons, as if it does
never realize that these windows are there. This might be the reason
why the xterms are visible on all desktops - since the desktop manager
fails to see and handle them . But all of this used to work with older
version of cygwin - I verified by going back to an older backup for
testing (sorry cannot quickly check x-server version for this).
A websearch of this always leads me to this former "redraw window
issue". But that is not it. I would need to know (thanks for help)
what the cause for this could be. I would need to know some buzzwords
where I could start following and solving the problem. At this point I
have no idea where to start of from (where to start reading).
Regards,
Frank
