Although, even when I quit those programs, until I close XWin.exe, the resources are not freed! Well, how about approaching the problem methodically? If you boot up and just start the X server, do you see these leaks? Does starting you X client (Konsole via ssh) cause these leaks? Does starting your TCL application cause these leaks? > ----- Original Message ---- > Sent: Mon, March 29, 2010 12:55:18 PM > Subject: Re: USER/GDI Objects leak with (XWin.exe) Cygwin/X X Server Verion 1.7.6, Build Date 2010-03-18 > > On 22/03/2010 18:38, Amal Khailtash wrote: >> My Windows XP USER and GDI object counts, for process XWin.exe, keep going >> up even if I leave my PC running and doing nothing.
