Hi,
I've setup cygwin on my laptop and I was trying to use 'rxvt' to define
an xterminal.
I run startxwin.bat in /usr/X11R6/bin/, where I've done the following:
SET CYGWIN_ROOT=\cygwin
SET PATH=.;%CYGWIN_ROOT%\bin;%CYGWIN_ROOT%\usr\X11R6\bin;%PATH%
SET XAPPLRESDIR=/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/app-defaults
SET XCMSDB=/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/Xcms.txt
SET XKEYSYMDB=/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/XKeysymDB
SET XNLSPATH=/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/locale
if not exist %CYGWIN_ROOT%\tmp\.X11-unix\X0 goto CLEANUP-FINISH
attrib -s %CYGWIN_ROOT%\tmp\.X11-unix\X0
del %CYGWIN_ROOT%\tmp\.X11-unix\X0
:CLEANUP-FINISH
if exist %CYGWIN_ROOT%\tmp\.X11-unix rmdir %CYGWIN_ROOT%\tmp\.X11-unix
run XWin -multiwindow -clipboard -silent-dup-error
Then, I have created the following shortcut to connect directly to one
of the computers at the university:
D:\cygwin\bin\rxvt.exe -ls -si -sk -sb -fg black -bg Wheat -fn 7x14 -g
120x20 -T "machinename.domain" -e ssh -X -l mylogin machinename.domain
Now, if I run ROOT, I have the following error message:
Error in <RootX11ErrorHandler>: BadAtom (invalid Atom parameter) (XID:
39, XREQ: 18)
and I cannot open any canvas:
Error in <RootX11ErrorHandler>: BadAccess (attempt to access private
resource denied) (XID: 58, XREQ: 102)
Any idea what is the problem ?
If, instead of ROOT, I run other programs opening graphic windows (like
PAW or emacs), I don't have such problem.
Any idea what this is related to ?
Thanks for any help/suggestion !
Fab
