The -2 build was borked.  I linked the static versions of the libs 
against the shared version of Xt, this is why it fails to work properly. 
 I got confused during the packaging and forgot to switch the libs to 
shared.

The new -3 build uses shared libs and everything should be fine again.

Yes, see above.

As for a WFU, I don't want to publish Nicholas's package address, but I 
have uploaded the binary and source packages here:

http://www.msu.edu/~huntharo/cygwin/lesstif/lesstif-0.93.91-3.tar.bz2 
(3.1 MiB)
http://www.msu.edu/~huntharo/cygwin/lesstif/lesstif-0.93.91-3-src.tar.bz2 
(2.98 MiB)

I am almost done with a rebuild of the source package on my machine.  I 
will post the packages afterwards if the build completes.

Hmm... I still can't reproduce the problem of not being able to move a 
window.  You have tried running with both "-rootless" and without any 
flags at all right (which would run in windowed mode.  You aren't using 
-multiwindow when testing mwm, right?  That might cause the sort of 
problem you are describing.
