I tested xterm #220 last night to check (since I had not looked at cygwin 
in particular when making the layout fixes), and it did not overlap the 
taskbar.  That's the current version on my ftp site.  I'm working on #221, 
for a fix which does not appear to affect cygwin, so #220 is probably what 
you should use.

That's source - configuring/compiling it is not that hard...
