I used to run X-Win32, a commercial X server, but it didn't deal very well with cut and paste. Now I'm running Cygwin, where cut-and-paste works fine, but emacs seems to have problems. The window comes up fine but whenever I try to do anything, I get this:
Quote:
X protocol error: BadAccess (attempt to access private resource denied) on protocol request 102

If I try running Netscape, I get this:
Quote:
X Error of failed request: BadDrawable (invalid Pixmap or Window parameter)
Major opcode of failed request: 73 (X_GetImage)
Resource id in failed request: 0x3a
Serial number of failed request: 121
Current serial number in output stream: 121

For what it's worth, traditional Athena-widget apps seem to work just fine. I don't really need much more than xterms, so I haven't dug much deeper, but if somebody here knows a magic solution, that would be good.

Sundry details (xdpyinfo output, also note that the X connection is being tunneled through ssh):
