Hi Ajay,

I have the same problem from time to time.  I use RealVNC but have
also tried TightVNC - neither one improves the situation.

What *has* seemed to improve things is to install the experimental X
server (1.9) as well as latest XWin.exe from:

   ftp://cygwin.com/pub/cygwinx/XWin.20100923-git-2172af4d1ea713f1.exe.bz2

and the latest cygwin1.dll from:

   http://www.cygwin.com/snapshots/

Good luck!

- Jim
