Unfortunally for some reasons no, because 1. this patches relates to cygipc
based shm support, which isn't a cygwin packages and should not be used in a
cygwin package (the xfree packages). There were some threads relating to this
topic in the past on cygwin/cygwin apps. At the time the shm support will be a
stable part of the cygwin dll, xfree could be recompiled with shm support.
2. some patches are currently not part of the official xfree release yet (for
example xft patches and ice delay patch, see release notes below)
------------------------------------------------------------
Release 1.3
libXft:
- added qt3 symbols to Xftlib
libICE:
- removed 5 seconds delay in libICE if file attributes don't match
Release 1.2
- renamed package to kde-x
Xwin.exe:
- added MIT-SHM extension
