Hi,
I can confirm that problem.
Additionally, if I first start the cygwin x-server and open some X
windows and then start virtual dimension, these X windows are handled
correctly.
There are icons on the virtual desktop display and these windows are
located on one virtual desktop.
But for every additional X window that I open after vitual dimension is
started, the described problem occurs as described by Frank.
What happens there???
Regards,
Eberhard

I'm using virtual dimension (v0.94) and cygwin for quite some many years
now with (used to be) no issue (Windows 7 and Windows XP before). During
an upgrade of my machine I also installed the most current version of
cygwin and its x-server (1.12.2). Since this time an xterm (or any other
window) will show up on all my virtual dimension desktops as if it was
attributed to "All desktops"
Worse: Virtual Desktop does not show any xterm-icons, as if it does
never realize that these windows are there. This might be the reason why
the xterms are visible on all desktops - since the desktop manager fails
to see and handle them . But all of this used to work with older version
of cygwin - I verified by going back to an older backup for testing
(sorry cannot quickly check x-server version for this).
A websearch of this always leads me to this former "redraw window
issue". But that is not it. I would need to know (thanks for help) what
the cause for this could be. I would need to know some buzzwords where I
could start following and solving the problem. At this point I have no
idea where to start of from (where to start reading).
Regards,
Frank
