I found that resizing works if I use the fvwm2 window manager. BTW: That is included with the cygwin/XFree86 distro. Greg On Fri, 2003-06-20 at 13:49, Greg Freemyer wrote:

Then I ssh over to my Linux box in the lab and run evolution with the display coming back to my local XFree86 setup.
so in reality it would appear he is doing "startx" from [essentially] a DOS prompt on his windows system -- obviously he cannot be starting "evolution" as part of the startx invocation!

Tom,
Your close.
I was effectively doing:
startx; twm &; ssh target evolution &
For some reason twm is not letting me resize.
I just tried mwm, and it also is not letting me resize.
I have not tried running twm/mwm from the target because I have several SuSE boxes I would like to be able to manage from my single desktop.
I guess it is time to review the archives for the cygwin/XFree86 list.
