RE: -clipboard on Test73

["Harold L Hunt II" <huntharo at msu dot edu>]

David,

I have made a new debugging release for you to try out:

http://www.msu.edu/~huntharo/xwin/shadow/XWin-Test73-DEBUG-2.exe.bz2 (1201
KiB)


This new release has many more debug messages around the calls to
_XSetLocale. I have also made the MultiWindow WM call _XSetLocale instead of
setlocale, which could have been causing problems... I really have no idea.

In any case, the above release should help us to figure out when is going on
when you run with ``XWin.exe -clipboard -multiwindow''.

Thanks for testing,


Harold

Through the cunning technique of reading other people's posts I have
deduced (surprise!) that the log file is in /tmp
Anyway here is the output of diff -u1000 XWinrl-multiwindow.log
XWinrl-multiwindow-clipboard.log
(in other words a diff between running with just the multiwindow option
and running with the clipboard option too,
showing every single line of the files...)

This does indeed seem to show that the problem is in the way setlocale
is called for with both of these options,
as Harold suggested.
