Hi,

I run cygwin on my Windows XP laptop and I now have a second monitor 
that I use to extend my desktop. Although I can use both monitors 
without any problem with Windows, when I run cygwin I noticed the 
following: when I open a new xterm, this will always be open on my 
laptop's monitor and when I move it to the other monitor I can type 
everything without any problem on the login window, but if I launch for 
example xemacs, I can write on the xemacs window only if I put it on the 
laptop's monitor: when I move it to the extenal monitor I can see it, 
but I cannot type on it or for instance close it. I have noticed the 
same also when I launch other applications (ROOT, for example). Is this 
  because cygwin only recognizes my laptop's monitor as the Windows 
terminal ? If so, is there a way to tell cygwin to 'extend' the Windows 
terminal to the external monitor, when this is present ?

Thanks for any help !

			Fab
