Here is a reference to a Java bug that suggests that the problem may be related to the X window manager being used;
http://bugs.sun.com/view_bug.do?bug_id=6798064 It doesn't specifically address the issue under Cygwin but does talk about the issue occurring under the ION window manager which is not officially supported by Java. Perhaps the internal window manager used by Cygwin in multwindowed mode has the same issue? Can the default internal window manger be changed when starting Xwin in multiwindow mode?
