Hmm, what I just did is that I started a VNC session and used VNC. Everything seems to work as expected, new windows are /not/ placed at (0,0). Window manager is Gnome. However, as mentioned, this is clearly not a local multi-monitor X session :( >>> I've built a snapshot [1], which adds a heuristic which ignores a >>> 'program specified location' hint if the location is the origin, which >>> you might like to try and see if that fixes your problem, but I'm not >>> sure if that is the correct solution. >> >> I have just the issue that the exe does not seem to work for me.

Works exactly as it should (just with the standard configuration, "X :0 -multiwindow")!! Now I just hope that this 'patch' somehow finds its way into the trunk ;-) Luke -- 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/
