I didn't see a mention of the argument to invoke the new rootless modeI just used -rootless without any other options. Works fine. Window creation and movement slows down a little but when the windows are shown there seems to be no speed punishment for using the pseudo rootless mode.
anywhere in this thread--no doubt it's in the updated man pages, but I just
grabbed the Test66 binary. Logically enough, it's '-rootless':
-rootless
EXPERIMENTAL: Run the server in pseudo-rootless mode.
You don't appear to need the '-nodecoration' option when you use
'-rootless'. Note that the output of 'XWin -help' goes to /tmp/XWin.log[1],
a fact which I had forgotten.
Just one question (little of topic in this thread): Has anyone succesfully used dfm with cygwin? It compiled flawless but when started it complains about dll`s missing in the path. That happened when trying to start a program or to change some preferences. (Funny enough those were cygwin1.dll and libX11.dll and the path was something like c:\cygwin\...) Maybe I just missed an existing patch (took dfm source from the projects homepage).This is really cool--many thanks to Matsuzaki, Thomas, and Harold! It's a bit of a hack, but it looks very useful, and at the least it should get most of the 'Why doesn't cygwin-xfree work like my favorite commerial X server?' people off of Harold's back. I'll probably go back to full-screen 'rooted' mode, though--I _like_ hiding all of the Windows junk when I'm working in X. - Bradey
