Funny mouse XWin and Vista

Due to something terrible I must have done in a previous life, I am
running Windows Vista. I am also trying to get Cygwin/X working.
After a few false starts, it does run as expected, with two glitches.
The first "glitch" is that my mouse pointer becomes really big when I
move it over an xterm window and then back over a native Window app. By
"really big", it looks like the shadow is about 5 times bigger than it
should be. Changing the pointer to be something else (a "resizer"
pointer on the edge of a window) and then clicking fixes the problem.
The weird thing is that I don't even need to click on the xterm, and
even if it is not the focus, it still frags the pointer. In particular,
it only occurs when I have the mouse go over the boundary of the xterm
(so that the mouse changes from the "bar" to the "double-ended arrow" to
a "pointer" again).
The second glitch is the fact that when I try to right-click and
shutdown the XServer (in the System Tray), it still appears, and I have
to kill it forcefully by way of the Task Manager.
I am using a "vanilla" Cygwin install: that is, I downloaded setup.exe
yesterday, tried two different mirrors, and (after the rebaseall
suggestion from other Vista related posts) everything else works fine.
I have attached my cygcheck output.
Thanks,
Troy (t.v.)
