xterms dropping keypresses events

Folks,
I run vnc, but never had any problems with dropping keypress events. It drops approx 50% of my keypress events to WinXp cygwin xterms, and it's exceeding annoying. It's like I must hit every key twice for the event to go through. It is esp annoying during vim sessions, where keypresses cause the program to enter states without visual confirmations. Is there some way to easily turn debugging info on for the x-events?
Thanks,
OSC
