I used my patch from 2011 every day for the last three years and it
worked always without any problems. I was also able to incorporate this
patch into the newest cygwin x server running under 64-bit cygwin
without any problems.

I don't understand, why this patch was not included into the official
cygwin-x-server. Of course it would be nice, if a better solution was
available. For pragmatic reasons it would be nice to include this patch
into official cygwin x server until a better solution is available.
Best regards,
Oliver
