Hi Paul,

the ftp://.....exe.bz2 that you mention wasn't intended to contain any fix;
it only produces additional debug statements.
sorry, for pasting the wrong link.
This is the one, that contains Jon's fix (works fine for me):
ftp://cygwin.com/pub/cygwinx/XWin.20110803-git-a493c0465e56ce0b.exe.bz2
to be sure I downloaded and tested this version again and it still
doesn't fix the AltGr problem reliably.
I tested also on my older notebook which has Windows XP and only one
core with the current official Cygwin release: no problems with AltGr at
all. My newer notebook has Windows 7 and quadcore.
So it seems that this is a timing problem or race condition that has
something to do with newer Windows versions and/or multi core architecture.
Best regards,
Oliver
