  You answered your own question in the Subject: field of your email.
:)  The UI elements you're referring to are provided by the window
manager; in this case, the venerable twm (which is the default window
manager provided with Cygwin/XFree86).  All you need to do is install a
different window manager; I know at least fvwm (or is it fvwm2) is
available via the setup program.  KDE and GNOME also run under Cygwin,
but you have to get them manually from their respective web sites.
