What performance improvement?
The performance/price ratio is infinitely better, ofc :-)
Good point :) eXceed is remarkably slow at drawing certain windows and
menus in some applications I use, even after tuning saveunders and
backing store. Unfortunately one of them is eclipse. I suspect it has
something to do with pixmaps. Cygwin is fast. I tried Xming but it
crashes on some apps.
The -emulate3buttons option should be doing precisely what you want;
it emulates a middle-mouse button press when the left and right mouse
buttons are pressed 'near simultaneously' (i.e. within the timeout specified).
This works for me.
I believe you... I am used to giving my users that answer :)
And it seems the role reversal is complete... because now (after a
reboot) it works for me, too.
Investigation reveals a case of RTFM deficiency. After each server
option edit I exited the xterm that came up from the server start
script and figured the server went away too (this is common in some X
configurations, and my systray was shrunk without the X icon
showing). So subsequent server restarts weren't taking because the
first server invocation was still running.
Problem solved. Sorry to bother you.
