Hello, I got the same problem.
My settings: Windows 7 64 bit Home Premium CYGWIN_NT-6.1-WOW64 my_machine 1.7.5(0.225/5/3) 2010-04-12 19:07 i686 Cygwin And I use cygwin 1.7.5 on windows XP has NO problem at all. But after I completed June 09, 2010 windows updates for windows 7, this problem is gone. I am not sure if this is windows problem or cygwin/X problem. Any input are welcom!
