Hi Marius,

I don't believe there is any active work going on in the area that you 
mention.  It seems to change and improve on an "as-needed" basis based
on bug reports and the like.  If you are interested in suggesting a 
patch, I'm sure the list would be interested in reviewing your ideas.

Larry

Subject: Problem with Station/Desktop permissions



<snip>

From what I see from the sources, cygwin is also adjusting the permissions
on the station\desktop. The approach taken in spawn.cc is a lot more
radical though, the security descriptor is basically blown away. This seems
to break my code. 

Has anybody else encountered this problem? Are there plans to move to a
more nuanced approach when adjusting the permissions on the window
stations/desktop?

Thanks for any pointers/comments.
