It's perhaps somewhat unfortunate that cygwin setup doesn't default to "keep" rather than "curr", or at least remember your preference from last time, but that's not my area. > Where I used to be able to lay out nice, clean terminal windows across > my Windows desktop, I now have a single, monolithic, unresizable > "Cygwin/X:0.0" window that seems to have a few terminal windows in it > and nothing else.

It sounds like you have somehow lost "-multiwindow" from the command used to start the X server (so the server is operating in the default, windowed mode). You don't say how you're starting the X server so I can't guess how that might be. You might try starting the X server via the link under "Cygwin X" in the start menu. > They have clunky menu bars at the top, and some of > them overflow the bottom of the Cygwin/X window that they're in, I'm guessing these "terminal windows" are Xterms. This is a consequence of an update to Xterm.
