Hi
I posted the questions below 11 days ago but received no responses. Here is another try. Any comments would be appreciated.
Best regards

-----------------------------
I am running an Eclipse based IDE on Ubuntu 10.04 LTS, which runs on a VMWare virtual machine on a remote server. I access the IDE on my Win 7 laptop using VcXsrv, which is an X server for Windows based on the Xorg sources. I have two questions related to this configuration.
1) Firstly, in general, the IDE is quite sluggish in this configuration. Is there anything I can do on the remote server or the local laptop to improve performance? (for example, I have heard of xorg acceleration, but I don't know what it is).
2) Secondly, I have a very specific question about the IDE behaviour. Given that this problem only manifests in a X server configuration. I thought it appropriate to ask the question here. When running the IDE, if I right click in an editor window to access a right-click menu option, the expected menu pops up but, after I select a menu item, the editor enters 'text select' mode and highlights a block of text, which is only terminated if I right-click again. I think this simply means that the IDE is getting confused about right clicks. Any ideas how to fix this please?
