Oh yeah, by "sketchy" I meant that after it happens a few times and I switch
the focus away from Cygwin/XFree86 two things happen:
1) Cygwin/XFree86 freezes solid.
2) The Windows mouse cursor disappears and the Windows mouse doesn't work
until I reboot. The mouse doesn't even start to work again when you press
Ctrl+Alt+Del and get the Windows Security box that usually works perfectly
even when programs have crashed.
Yeah... that's pretty sketchy.
