So now we can use Wiredx to give CyGNOME/Cygwin demonstration to others. If they have java installed, they will be able to see/use CyGNOME with out even installing it !!!.
By using WeirdX, I am able to run CyGNOME from any PC on the network. Cygwin/CyGNOME is only installed on one PC on our network.
The performance I was able to achieve on network (100T) was very good.
And I feel performance will be OK over a DSL line.
I have two issue remaining now.
1) Window manager is not stable. It shuts down occasionally. So I have to restart it.
2) I was not successful to connect to my CyGNOME PC using WiredMind, a SSH1 client for java-enabled web browser (http://www.tam.cornell.edu/Computer/remoteaccess/weirdmind/)
So I have to go to CyGNOME PC to start the first instance of window manager or bash or gmc, so that I can work on WeirdX.
For this I have made a DOS bat file weirdx.bat.
weirdx.bat will optionally takes two argument.
First one the name or ip address of the PC running WeirdX applet.
Second argument is the display number.
If you dont give display number it will be defaulted as 2.0
If you dont give any argument DISPLAY will be set to "localhost:2.0"
Please see usage examples at the end of weirdx.bat.
You may have to modify the PATH variable if Cygwin is installed at a different dir than C:\Cygwin
I have successfully run CyGNOME on WeirdX !!!
