Here is my varmin huntin' strategy: - I've managed to compile and install xfree86 in debug build. I think. See cygcheck attached. See http://sources.redhat.com/ml/cygwin-xfree/2004-01/msg00160.html - I modified startxwin.bat to launch XWin via: gdb --args XWin -multiwindow -multiplemonitors -clipboard - Continue working normally and wait for the trap catch something Øyvind
