Using XRunner with cygwin-xfree XFree86 - 4.1.99.1

["John P. Rouillard" <rouilj at cs dot umb dot edu>]

Hello all:

I hope somebody has some ideas about this because it is driving me
batty.  We are using XRunner to automate testing of some of our
apps. Using XFree-86 version 4 on linux with the RECORD and XTEST
extentions works fine. I am able to map the gui and identify the
items, send mouse presses and keystrokes.

However using the cygwin version fails. I can't map the gui and find
the widgets in the tree. So XRunner kind of throws up its hands.
What is funny is that XRunner usually reportswhen the needed extentions
aren't present. So my guess is that the extentions are present but
not operating properly somehow.

I have compared the /etc/X11/xserver/SecurityPolicy files, the server
startup command arguments. I have looked for issues with XRunner on
the web. I have also looked at docs on the record and xtest extentions
to see if I get any bright ideas.

Does anybody have any programs working that use the XTEST and RECORD
extentions of XFree86-cygwin?

Here is my xdpyinfo in case anybody is interested.
