Apparently it was just moving very, very slowly.  At least it now works 
using mwm from lesstif.  The XFce port does not work, I get a lot of gdk 
errors.  I used the precompiled of that (I used it everyday and it worked 
up until I upgraded cygwin today).  I never had luck with twm, vtwm, etc, 
but I haven't tried those again recently, so they may be working, just very 
slow.
