What you are trying to do will only work for X Applications. Windows applications in general do not speak X, they draw themselves via GDI. If someone were to port the Wine GDI->X conversion library to Cygwin, then what you want to do may become possible (with quite a bit more work). Until then, I'm pretty sure that what you are trying to do is not possible. Rasjid.
