Mintty isn't actually an X11 program, so cygwin-xfree is the wrong list for this. Please send followups to the cygwin mailing list or the mintty discussion group. > I have observed the problem when switching between virtual desktops for both > Windows > Desktop Manager and Dexpot Desktop Manager. By "Windows Desktop Manager" do you mean the "Virtual Desktop Manager" powertoy?

There are several ways you could force a refresh of mintty's display: - minimize and restore - scroll up and down - flip screen and back (i.e. press Alt+F12 twice) However, none of that should be necessary, i.e. it sounds like there's a bug there somewhere. Do you have transparency enabled in mintty? Does disabling or enabling it make a difference?
