It seems to be somehow related to the xterm's --enable-toolbar configuration (which is turned on in the cygwin package). If I rebuild xterm with that disabled, the problem goes away, and I can also reproduce the problem on F15 under twm if I build xterm with --enable-toolbar there (which is not enabled in the distro supplied package) -- 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/
