Benny,

Hmm, this is very interesting.  Here are my settings:

CYGWIN="check_case:strict ntsec notitle binmode nosmbntsec notty",
W2k/SP2, and Exceed, but the xterm comes from Cygwin, and I don't think it
matters which X server is running, or does it?

I use the following command to run my xterms:

C:\cygwin\bin\run.exe C:\cygwin\bin\bash.exe --login -c "(/usr/bin/X11/xterm -display localhost:0 -bg \#000000 -rv -fn 10x20 -rw -cu -si -sk -sb -sl 5000 +cn -T pechtcha-lt -n pechtcha-lt >/dev/null 2>&1 &)"

It would be interesting to try and see what the culprit is.  I'd suspect
"notty", but I've just tried it with "tty" and no luck.
