I am trying to connect to a Sun UNIX box and display
the graphics on my PC running Cygwin. I am using
the command ssh -X -l <user-name> <remote-machine>.
The connection is being made OK, but when I try and
run something with X graphics I get an error message
of the form:
X Error (intercepted): BadWindow (invalid Window parameter)
Major Request Code : 7
Minor Request Code : 0
Resource ID (XID) : 58
Error Serial Number : 47
XView warning: invalid object (not a pointer), xv_get
finished; X Error of failed request: BadWindow (invalid Window parameter)
Major opcode of failed request 7 (X_ReparentWindow)
Resource id in failed request: 0x3a
Serial number of failed request: 47
Current serial number in output stream: 56
I have a Netgear DG834G router/firewall, neither of which are
showing anything in the log. The odd thing is that I tried
the same thing from my work PC and it was fine. I updated
the whole of my Cygwin installation yesterday.
Any help would be very gratefully received.
Thanks,

Wrong list. Redirecting to cygwin-xfree. Please delete <cygwin at cygwin
dot com> from subsequent discussion.

<http://x.cygwin.com/docs/faq/cygwin-x-faq.html#remote>, which has the
same answer that a Google search for 'BadWindow "invalid window
parameter" ssh site:cygwin.com' (or even 'BadWindow Cygwin') would have
shown...
HTH,
