  I wholeheartedly second that; either a test build, or perhaps some
instructions on how to take the patch(es) you supplied and build a
modified version using the existing Cygwin tools.  Is this just a matter
of building a modified version of the XWin.exe binary and replacing my
current "XWin -rootless" line with "XWin2 -multiwindow" in the startx
script?
  I think a lot of us non-programmers would be willing to become beta
testers and/or bug reporters if we could get our foot in the door.  :)

  Also, someone else suggested making the actual Cygwin/XFree86 "control
window" (is that the right term?) minimize to the system tray rather
than the taskbar; I think this would be a good idea too...
