You may wish to note the desired filename in the links below, then download from your closest mirror (http://cygwin.com/mirrors.html).

This functionality is accessible via the ``-clipboard'' command-line parameter. (Harold Hunt) 2) Delay the execution of the Multi-Window Window Manager thread until the X Server has finished starting up. (Harold Hunt) 3) Restructure the way that the Multi-Window Window Manager handles fatal errors. Return FALSE when we encounter an initialization error so that the server can make a clean exit, instead of aborting immediately by calling exit (1). For later errors, call pthread_exit (NULL) instead of exit (1) so that only the Multi-Window Window Manager aborts; there is no need to kill the X Server process since work could still be recovered without the window manager module. (Harold Hunt) 4) Destroy the pthread mutex and condition variables, used for synchronization in the Multi-Window Window Manager, upon X Server exit. (Harold Hunt) Enjoy, Harold
