Thanks for this additional hint. I might be forced to come back to this list in the near future.

Do you mean things like ~> ssh -X gimp The program 'gimp' received an X Window System error. This probably reflects a bug in the program. The error was 'BadWindow (invalid Window parameter)'. (Details: serial 142 error_code 3 request_code 38 minor_code 0) (Note to programmers: normally, X errors are reported asynchronously; that is, you will receive the error a while after causing it. To debug your program, run it with the --sync command line option to change this behavior. You can then get a meaningful backtrace from your debugger if you break on the gdk_x_error() function.) > You need to use the "-Y" flag instead to turn on *trusted* > X11-forwarding.

Many thanks. You solved I problem I did not even had once you solved it. Are you able to see the future?? ;-)) Kind regards Andreas. -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
