cygwinx 1.7 beta - crashes runing virt-manager

[Michael Breuer]

Ok - just an FYI - F12+Cygwin 1.7 seems rock solid with -extension 
Composite. Been up for a while now, tried all sorts of stuff that was 
problematic earlier. The only anomaly I encountered (minor) was the 
cursor not tracking correctly in a Virt-viewer window. That was probably 
pushing things anyway as the proper way is to run VNC remotely, not in a 
remote X session... but I figured I'd try to break it.
