I'm afraid I made a mistake when updating the XWin(1) man page when adding the description of '-resize'. '-resize' is also required in multiwindow mode to activate resize support. Also, something like the following needs to be added: "In -multwindow or -rootless mode, if the X screen is of the same dimensions as a Windows monitor or the virtual desktop, the X server will respond to the WM_DISPLAYCHANGED sent when those dimensions change by resizing the X screen. Changing the size of the X screen using the RANDR extension is not permitted." We'll probably make -resize on by default in -multiwindow mode in the future, after more testing and feedback. > Additional patches: > - Generate X keycodes for multimedia keys. > - Update mapping for Canadian keyboard layouts. > - Add -resize command line option. > - Internal WM workaround for Java AWT bug. > - Fix a GDI bitmap resource leak of window icons. > - Store pthread_ids and chain IOError handlers to avoid longjmp across > threads. Just to clarify, this should fix the problem of X crashing during shutdown, leaving behind a stale lock file. Which should in turn fix the problem of not being able to start X if it was previously run by an Administrator if you aren't an Administrator. If there are still problems with multiple users of X on the same computer, either sequentially or in parallel, we'd like to hear about them. > - Make select() poll and not block if there are unprocessed Windows > messages. > - Better keyboard debugging output. > - Show any fatal error message. -- Jon TURNEY Volunteer Cygwin/X X Server maintainer -- 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/
