I am trying to connect to remote applications in X (in -multiwindow mode) through ssh on cygwin. When I open the remote application, the default mouse pointer (cursor, whatever) is an 'X'. Some special areas in the application, such as text fields, change the cursor successfully to a text selection pointer, but the 'X' pointer remains the default nearly everywhere else. Previously I had been using the default window manager with Cygwin by running startx, then remoting inside of it. That was a little roundabout, but it worked. All cursors and pointers looked okay. I've just done a complete reinstall of Cygwin on my WinXP box, since I thought perhaps either something was screwed up with the previous installation, or something new had fixed the problem. The remote system I'm connecting to is Fedora Core Test 3 running the latest packages, though I'm willing to bet if I find another machine to test this on it will do the same; it's got to be something on my end, whether it's a misconfiguration or something I'm forgetting to do. Here's a quick example of exactly what I'm doing: * Open Cygwin shell (cygwin.bat) * startxwin.sh * Inside the xterm window: ssh -XC me@somebox.domain.tld * Once logged into remote box: evolution & * Everything loads okay, but mouse pointer is an 'X' instead of the usual Windows arrow, or the default pointer on the remote box. Any ideas? :) -- Ricky Boone Planetfurry.com
