Problem using multiwindow, function keys, and xfig

Cygwin and XWin are magnificent, but, running locally under windowsXP:
Using -multiwindow, I cannot get function keys to work using xrdb unless
-kb is appended to the XWin command line in startxwin.bat.
However, using -multiwindow, the xfig pulldown menus don't work unless
-kb is NOT appended.
Using -fullscreen instead of -multiwindow, both function keys and xfig
work fine if -kb is appended.
With or without -kb, xrdb -q says the function keys are coded, F12 looks
the same under xev, and xmodmap -pk shows keycode 96 codes for 0xffc9
(F12).
One workaround under -multiwindow is to start 2 instances
of XWin using 2 displays; one with -kb and one without, but is there a
cleaner way?
Thanks
