I used my patch from 2011 every day for the last three years and it worked always without any problems. I was also able to incorporate this patch into the newest cygwin x server running under 64-bit cygwin without any problems. See also: https://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin-xfree/2011-08/msg00034.html https://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin-xfree/2011-09/msg00000.html https://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin-xfree/2011-09/msg00003.html I don't understand, why this patch was not included into the official cygwin-x-server. Of course it would be nice, if a better solution was available. For pragmatic reasons it would be nice to include this patch into official cygwin x server until a better solution is available.
