As Harold L Hunt II quite correctly pointed out, I didn't provide enough
information. I'll now provide too much. 8-)}
My system is an IBM Thinkpad T40 running Windows XP Pro with the latest
updates. (I think I've seem the same symptom on my Windows 2000 system
at home, but I can't confirm that at the moment.)
I've installed the latest updates for Cygwin, including xorg-x11-xwin
version 6.7.0.0-2.
I start the XWin server from a Cygwin bash shell, using the following
command:
/usr/X11R6/bin/XWin.exe -fullscreen -emulate3buttons &
And something that I hadn't noticed before: XWin.exe produces a bunch
of output on stderr (the last three lines show up when I terminate it):
