I compiled XFCE a year ago, that time Cygwin had no pthread support
therefore I used pthread.dll for MingW32 and created import libraries using
dllwrap. The required pthread dll is packed with XFCE archive.
I do not think your problem is a pthread issue. Harold told me that on his
system xterm was having same problems. He sent me a replacement xterm.exe
which is in 4.1.0/fixes directory. You can try using it.
