However, I do think there is a problem here. I am also having problems getting copy/paste with Windows to work with my locally-compiled copy of XEmacs, unless I start XEmacs from an rxvt window. The CYGWIN variable is unset now on my system, but even setting it to tty doesn't change this behavior. Interestingly, the copy/paste works fine until I start a bash shell within XEmacs, then everything stops working. Unless I started XEmacs from rxvt. Yes, I know that XEmacs is not a support Cygwin tool or even part of the release. And I do have a work-around. But I'm mentioning it because it is behavior apparent only with 1.5.0 and not with 1.3.22, and the work-around proposed above doesn't fix the behavior. I can live with starting XEmacs from rxvt as a work-around, but perhaps others will encounter similar problems with other apps when 1.5.0 is officially released and more people update to it. BTW, I haven't recompiled XEmacs against the latest experimental anything, since as I understand it, I need to wait for all the libraries XEmacs uses (including X) to be recompiled for 1.5.0. Is that correct? I have cygwin checked out and built from CVS. The behavior is unchanged using the CVS dll (no surprise, I'm sure). I am willing to do some debugging and research here, but have no idea where to start. If someone can point me in a direction, I can do more investigation.
