Any bugs like this or Cygwin/X specific bugs too, can be filed at the
Xorg bug database on

http://bugs.freedesktop.org 

and choose xorg as the package. 

It would also be useful for those who actually produce patches to file
bug reports and attach patches to fix problems so that they can be
tracked accordingly.

Thanks,

Alan.
