By default xterm starts in latin1 mode. If you use the utf8 mode it can handle 
the characters properly. 

xterm -u8

Other programs will require setting the LANG environment variable

LANG=hu xev

without: 
KeyPress event, serial 26, synthetic NO, window 0x2600002,
    root 0x53, subw 0x0, time 167925784, (114,90), root:(423,228),
    state 0x0, keycode 51 (keysym 0x1fb, udoubleacute), same_screen YES,
    XLookupString gives 0 bytes: 
    XmbLookupString gives 0 bytes: 
    XFilterEvent returns: False

with:
KeyPress event, serial 26, synthetic NO, window 0x2600002,
    root 0x53, subw 0x2600003, time 167967494, (40,57), root:(368,233),
    state 0x0, keycode 51 (keysym 0x1fb, udoubleacute), same_screen YES,
    XLookupString gives 1 bytes: (fb) "û"
    XmbLookupString gives 1 bytes: (fb) "û"
    XFilterEvent returns: False

it is still printed wrong because of the latin1 charset of the mail.

BTW: can you please send me the information listed in 
http://x.cygwin.com/docs/faq/cygwin-x-faq.html#q-submit-layout

I can add the hungarian layout to the table of autodetected layouts

bye
