Keyboard focus problem + scrambled icons in wmaker with latest release

Hello,
	I'm running the latest version of Cygwin, XFree and WindowMaker (from 
mirrors.rcn.net, but I also tried mirrors.sunsite.dk and 
mirrors.kernel.org) in my WinXP Pro workstation and I have the following 
problems:

	1) when I move my mouse outside a xterm windows the keyboard focus is 
lost by that window and is re-taken when I get back to that window with 
the mouse pointer. It only happens with Cygwin-XFree's xterm, while if I 
launch, for example, HP-UX's xterm from a HP workstation or Cygwin's 
rxvt or Nedit it doesn't happen. This started to happen 1/2 weeks ago 
(consider that I constantly monitor the announce mailing lists of Cygwin 
and, hence, I make setup.exe run once every one/two days). I saw, from 
the list, that other people have this problem too.

	2) this morning I ran setup and I downloaded the latest modifications 
to Xwinclip, XFree86-bin, etc. From that point on, some of the icons of 
wmaker are "scrambled", in particular the icons that represents 
terminals and the icons of the "Window Maker Preferences Utility", 
launching wmaker by hand (i.e. not as I usually do with a script that 
launces XWin and then wmaker) I get this errors on stderr:

TIFFReadDirectory: Warning, /usr/X11R6/share/WINGs/Images.tiff: unknown 
field with tag 317 (0x13d) encountered.
TIFFReadDirectory: Warning, 
/usr/X11R6/share/WindowMaker/Icons/Terminal.tiff: unknown field with tag 
317 (0x13d) encountered.
TIFFReadDirectory: Warning, 
/usr/X11R6/share/WindowMaker/Icons/Terminal.tiff: unknown field with tag 
317 (0x13d) encountered.

I don't know if this is a useful information, but I run XFree in 
rootless mode.

I also tried to uninstall wmaker, to remove from my user's home the 
configuration files of wmaker (I renamed the ~/GNUstep dir) and to 
re-install wmaker but things haven't changed.

Bye,
