Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1; format=flowed Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit X-SW-Source: 2003-12/txt/msg00196.txt.bz2 List-Id: Hi, I have the latest Cygwin release. I'm setting up to display my remote linux desktop on my Win2k box. Running inside of the Cygwin Bash Shell, I start XWin(xwin -screen 0 1400 1050&) with no local applications. When I then run 'xhost +' from the bash shell, the X server windows flashes and restarts. Even though 'xhost +' printed 'access control disabled, ..', since the X server is restarting the xhost + change is nullified. It seems I can work around this if I start just one window local to Cygwin before running 'xhost +'. It doesn't seem to matter what the window is: xterm, xclock, whatever. Then when I run 'xhost +' next the X server window doesn't flash/restart, and the 'xhost +' effect of 'access control disabled, ..' has taken place and I am able to remotely start applications from my linux box connecting to the Cygwin X Server. Am I violating any rules by this process, is this a known or unknown issue? Thanks, Jason Kalin
