I'm guessing you are using -multiwindow mode.  In which case, the 
-multimonitors/-multiplemonitors should be on by default

Perhaps the problem you are seeing is that Cygwin/X doesn't know about changes 
to the size of the Windows virtual desktop, so if you add an additional 
monitor (or change your display resolution to a higher one) after X is 
started, windows moved into the added area of the virtual desktop don't have 
any shadow framebuffer to store their contents, so are drawn white?
