[ANNOUNCEMENT] Shadow Framebuffer Test 10


I just posted Test 10 to my usual announcement page:
http://www.msu.edu/~huntharo/xwin/shadow/

Test 10 is compiled with the Cygwin/XFree86 4.0.3 source code; you must have
Cygwin/XFree86 4.0.3 installed before you install Test 10.

Changes:
1) Restart messages, such as the one sent by the "Close Connection"
	button when using xdcmp, caused the server to crash,
	as I was not completely closing the screen resources.
	This has no been fixed.  You can send restart messages, till
	your heart is content, and the Test 10 server will cheerily
	process them and give you a fresh server every time.  I hope :)
2) Neat new feature, as a consequence of 1: you can now run multiple
	screens in one server, for example:

	start XWin -screen 0 1024x768x16 -screen 1 800x600x16
	start rxvt -display 127.0.0.1:0.0 -fn "Lucidia Console-12"
	start rxvt -display 127.0.0.1:0.1 -fn "Lucidia Console-12"
	start twm -display 127.0.0.1:0.0
	start twm -display 127.0.0.1:0.1

	Caveats:
	Don't try throwing in any -fullscreen parameters.
	There is some strange mouse behavior that I'm working on.

Enjoy, thanks for testing, and X on!
