I recently upgraded to Cygwin 1.5.7(0.109/3/2), including
XWin release 4.3.0.56 installed from XFree86-bin-4.3.0-16.tar.bz2
Now when I try to run one particular remote X application (my MUA) I get
this error:
X Error of failed request: BadAtom (invalid Atom parameter)
Major opcode of failed request: 18 (X_ChangeProperty)
Atom id in failed request: 0xee
Serial number of failed request: 12
Current serial number in output stream: 15
The remote (linux) machine has not had its sshd config changed since
2002. It has "X11Forwarding yes", and used to work fine.
If I ssh -X into the machine, DISPLAY is set to localhost:10.0
The MUA runs fine on the Linux machine which I am connecting to with
ssh. xmessage and other X applications I've tried also work okay.
The MUA is Postilion (a Tk/Tcl application built from the TkRat MUA,
but with the Nextstep Mail program's look and feel).
Other Tk applications work okay.
There's nothing odd in /tmp/XWin.log.
Any suggestions?
