This is not Cygwin-specific, but you can capture any Windows window to
clipboard by pressing Alt-PrtSc.  To get an X window that way, you may
need to run X in multiwindow mode.  Just for the archives.

You can also write to /dev/clipboard from any Cygwin program to copy to
the Windows clipboard (or read from there to paste).  I'm not sure what
happens if you write an image there, though -- I think it's not set to the
right format.
