xfig and mwm problems ...

[Harold L Hunt II]

Did you, by chance, use the cygwin.mirrors.pair.com mirror?  It is way 
out of date and lists XFree86-bin-4.3.0-5 as the most recent version.

However, all other mirrors should have XFree86-bin-4.3.0-8.  Those 
additional releases of XFree86-bin fixed the bugs that you are running into.

Update your installation with Cygwin's setup.exe using a different 
mirror (try mirrors.kernel.org), relaunch your apps (including XWin.exe) 
and report your results.
