With the current version of XFree86 (XFree86-bin-4.2.0-2;
XFree86-xserv-4.2.0-16) I am getting the following:
I start a (xdm based) session on another (linux) X server, using a bat
which does:
start /B XWin -indirect linux
This creates a window as large as if being maximized. Ok. If either I
click on "Quit" button (from the xdm window) or choose a host, login and
then logout from it, the Cygwin/XFree86 window is closed and opened again
but shrinked by some 4-5 pixels in width and about the height of the
taskbar in height. Repeating the procedure (clicking Quit or along
several sessions on the linux machine) the Cygwin/XFree86 window gets
smaller and smaller.
This behaviour dissapears when I specify
-screen 0 1152 844
to XWin command. Is this a known issue? I unsuccessfuly searched in the
archives for it. Am I missing something?
Another problem (which I did not noticed in *some* previous version) was
redraw not being performed properly for eg when moving windows. I work
only on another computer (linux) with DISPLAY set to Cygwin machine. Sorry
I can't be more specific.
