further informations: a very old cygwin (0.9. ?? , about 6 years old) has no problems with 
        child windows. The childs apear with 3 symbols in the top right corner  X, _ and D
        and the childs are opened in the correct size. We need now a newer cygwin because of 
        SHM-MIT (shared memory).
