I have the same problem.  It occurs using both cygwin/XFree86 and 
Linux/XFree86 to access the server.  This indicates that it's either a 
problem inherent to XFree86 (not just the cygwin port) or more likely is 
a Mozilla/Netscape/Shockwave problem.  Either way, it's really anoying 
and I hope someone tracks it down and fixes it.
