Now that X11 works again without crashing and I've found a font that looks OK I'm running into a problem again that (I think) has existed for much longer: When I start emacs from a shell window outside the X11 session (e.g. the same mintty that I ran startxwin in) and then iconify emacs-X11 with C-z, the cursor won't blink and it won't respond to keyboard input after de-iconifying it from the taskbar (I'm using the multiwindow "native" window manager). I have to select something from the menu bar before emacs starts responding again, which is a bit of a problem when I've switched the menu bar off... until I remember that the context menus in the text pane are still there. This does not happen if Emacs is started from an Xterm or the menu entry of the X server icon in the notification area or even another mintty that's been started from within X. Somehow that C-z makes its way to where it shouldn't go when the controlling terminal hasn't been started from the X11 session. Ideas?
I can't reproduce this on my system. I'm running 64-bit Windows 7, emacs-24.2-1, the latest Cygwin snapshot (2012-08-27), and the test version of the X server (1.13.0-1). Here's what I tried:
1. Start mintty from the "Cygwin Terminal" shortcut. 2. $ startxwin 3. [still in the mintty window] $ DISPLAY=:0 emacs -Q& 4. In the resulting emacs window, C-z. 5. Left click on the emacs icon to de-iconify emacs. The cursor blinks and emacs responds to keyboard input. Are you able to reproduce your problem with 'emacs -Q'? Ken P.S.
