Anders,
One note for you though:
The parameters -rootless, -multiwindow, -scrollbars, and (-nodecoration
and -lesspointer) cannot all be used at once like that.
You should be using instead:
start XWin -multiwindow -clipboard
Now, you also need to REM out any windowmanager (twm, mwm, etc.) and you
need to REM out xwinclip.
I suspect that you are starting xwinclip, which is causing a crash when you
also use -clipboard.

Makes perfect sense (I bet I could have figured that out on my own...).
Sorry to bug you.

Anders,
You are going to have to start helping by sending this email to
cygwin-xfree@cygwin.com. I don't respond to personal emails related to
Cygwin/XFree86. There are many other people on the list that can help, so
your response will always be faster if you email the list.

When I start this build up with the -clipboard option, using:
start XWin -clipboard -rootless -multiwindow -nodecoration -lesspointer
-rootless -scrollbars -terminate
It crashes on startup. Removing "-clipboard" stops the crash.
Let me know if I can help you figure this out.

Links:
I just posted Test 75 to the server development page:
http://xfree86.cygwin.com/devel/shadow/
You can install the Test 75 package via setup.exe by selecting the
'test' package (and be sure to check the 'Bin' box): XFree86-xserv-4.2.0-23
Server Test Series binary and source code releases are now
available via the sources.redhat.com ftp mirror network
(http://cygwin.com/mirrors.html) in the
pub/cygwin/xfree/devel/shadow/ directory. You may wish to note the
desired filename in the links below, then download from your
closest mirror (http://cygwin.com/mirrors.html).
Server binary, direct link:
http://www.msu.edu/~huntharo/xwin/shadow/XWin-Test75.exe.bz2 (1202 KiB)
Server source, direct link:
http://www.msu.edu/~huntharo/xwin/shadow/xwin-20030126-2245.tar.bz2 (107
KiB)
xc/programs/Xserver/hw/xwin (all files) diff against Test74 source code:
http://www.msu.edu/~huntharo/xwin/shadow/xwin-Test74-to-Test75.diff (4 KiB)
Changes:
1) winshaddd[nl].c/winReleasePrimarySurfaceShadowDD[NL] - Check that
pddsPrimary is not NULL before calling
IDirectDrawSurface[2|4]_SetClipper. This most likely showed up as a
crash during video depth changes. (Alexander Gottwald)
2) winshaddd.c - Change a few accidental IDirectDrawSurface4
references to IDirectDrawSurface2. (Harold Hunt)
Enjoy,
Harold
