Try giving the -multiplemonitors option to XWin.

P.S. You shouldn't need to reinstall Cygwin after patching XP.
--- I tried with -multiplemonitors and still have the same results. Here
is the Xwin start command:
--- %RUN% XWin -multiplemonitors -multiwindow -clipboard
-silent-dup-error
--- I have also attached Xwin.log. The other thing I have noticed is
that /tmp is mounted from

under c:\cygwin now it mounts the dirctory below. I --- have no idea if
this is related. Thanks.
