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:
Same setup as mine except 32-bit Win7/Enterprise.
1. Start mintty from the "Cygwin Terminal" shortcut.
2. $ startxwin
3. [still in the mintty window] $ DISPLAY=:0 emacs -Q&
I've tested this both with bash and tcsh, BTW since tcsh's signal handling is
apparently different from bash.
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.
This is what doesn't work here. That is when I start the X server from another
mintty than the one that the X server is started from or when the shell is tcsh.
So if I extend your case with:
6. Start another mintty
7. DISPLAY=:0 emacs -Q&
8. In the resulting emacs window, C-z.
9. Left click on the emacs icon to de-iconify emacs.
The cursor doesn't blink and emacs doesn't respond to keyboard input.
What do you get?
Still no problem. I'm using only bash, not tcsh. But I gather that
you're having problems with both.
I wonder why your results are so different from mine. Do you have
something in your .startxwinrc that could be interfering? I moved my
.startxwinrc out of the way before testing.
