I tested xterm #220 last night to check (since I had not looked at cygwin
in particular when making the layout fixes), and it did not overlap the
taskbar. That's the current version on my ftp site. I'm working on #221,
for a fix which does not appear to affect cygwin, so #220 is probably what
you should use.
That's source - configuring/compiling it is not that hard...
