Hello,
I'm running the latest version of Cygwin, XFree and WindowMaker (from
mirrors.rcn.net, but I also tried mirrors.sunsite.dk and
mirrors.kernel.org) in my WinXP Pro workstation and I have the following
problems:
1) when I move my mouse outside a xterm windows the keyboard focus is
lost by that window and is re-taken when I get back to that window with
the mouse pointer. It only happens with Cygwin-XFree's xterm, while if I
launch, for example, HP-UX's xterm from a HP workstation or Cygwin's
rxvt or Nedit it doesn't happen. This started to happen 1/2 weeks ago
(consider that I constantly monitor the announce mailing lists of Cygwin
and, hence, I make setup.exe run once every one/two days). I saw, from
the list, that other people have this problem too.
2) this morning I ran setup and I downloaded the latest modifications
to Xwinclip, XFree86-bin, etc. From that point on, some of the icons of
wmaker are "scrambled", in particular the icons that represents
terminals and the icons of the "Window Maker Preferences Utility",
launching wmaker by hand (i.e. not as I usually do with a script that
launces XWin and then wmaker) I get this errors on stderr:
TIFFReadDirectory: Warning, /usr/X11R6/share/WINGs/Images.tiff: unknown
field with tag 317 (0x13d) encountered.
TIFFReadDirectory: Warning,
/usr/X11R6/share/WindowMaker/Icons/Terminal.tiff: unknown field with tag
317 (0x13d) encountered.
TIFFReadDirectory: Warning,
/usr/X11R6/share/WindowMaker/Icons/Terminal.tiff: unknown field with tag
317 (0x13d) encountered.
I don't know if this is a useful information, but I run XFree in
rootless mode.
I also tried to uninstall wmaker, to remove from my user's home the
configuration files of wmaker (I renamed the ~/GNUstep dir) and to
re-install wmaker but things haven't changed.
Bye,
