I start XWin.exe via a desktop shortcut to this command line: =A0=A0=A0D:\Devel\Cygwin\bin\run.exe /usr/bin/bash.exe \ -l -c /usr/bin/startxwin.exe 2. My ~/.startxwinrc has these lines: =A0=A0=A0xhost + =A0=A0=A0nohup xterm -font 10x20 -e /bin/bash \ -l > /dev/null 2>&1 & which opens a single xterm, after which I then "ssh remote-server" and set DISPLAY back to my PC and execute a shell script which starts 36 xterms on remote-server. (Yes, I start 36 separate xterms, all carefully positioned to display back to the 4 monitors on my PC.)=20 The problem is: even though the xterm windows appear fine, none of the taskbar buttons appear until I give the xterm window focus. I was using xorg-server-1.10.0-1 and did not have this problem until setup.exe upgraded me to 1.12.1. This is WinXP 32-bit/SP3 running 4 monitors w/FirePro 2450 and w/UltraMon-3.1.0 and w/TaskbarShuffle-2.5 and TweakUI "Activation follows mouse (X-Mouse)" checked. All taskbar buttons used to appear just fine with this setup, the only thing that has changed is Cygwin. Is this a bug or a configuration issue? Could someone help me understand how to fix this? FWIW, I've searched the mailing lists and found this: [ANNOUNCEMENT] Updated: xorg-server-1.12.0-2 * The _NET_WM_STATE_SKIP_TASKBAR hint is now implemented in multiwindow mode Since I'm using multi-window mode and since these are network based xterms coming into XWin.exe, and the taskbar button is not automatically showing with the xterm window, could this be my problem? I have no ~/.XWinrc and made no changes to the standard /etc/X11/system.XWinrc, so perhaps a simple ~/.XWinrc configuration can fix this? [I'm still a X11 noob and don't know much about configuring X; please be gentle.] Thanks, David -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://x.cygwin.com/docs/ FAQ: http://x.cygwin.com/docs/faq/
