Well, I decided to use vtwm as default WindowManager
instead of twm.  I uploaded sources adn precompiled
binary of VTWM in xc-4-binaries directory at
ftp://sourceware.cygnus.com/pub/cygwin/xfree/xc-4-binaries .

Users who already have downloaded xwin.exe, are
strongly recommended to download vtwm. Install it in
/usr/X11R6/bin and edit startxwin.bat 

Replace in startxwin.bat
start twm

with
start vtwm

In my opinion vtwm is small, fast and is a better
Windows Manager. It emulates MOTIF/CDE Window Manager.
 Left-mouse button click on the desktop will give
details about Cygwin1.dll and its version, XFree86
(X11R6) used for compilation, plus the release details
and date of compilation.
