Yes. Scenario here (Win2k Pro V5 Build 2195 SP4) for me is:
cyg> "startx&" from a bash console (fires a window manager-less xterm).
cyg> ssh -X admin@svr.swampdog (me FreeBSD 5.2 box)
bsd> wmaker&
A ctrl-c at the <cyg> bash console kills all X processes on <bsd>. Ditto
if I fire up kde instead of windowmaker (and ditto kde/gnome apps from
inside windowmaker). The X server is left running - appears to be the
only thing immune to the ctrl-c. Quit it windoze style (click closer)
and we're back to original <cyg> bash console. Aside from the
uncerimonious terminations there don't appear to be any side-effects.
If one were to imagine the ctrl-c being "broadcast" to all X descendants
that about sums it up.
