No. There is currently no possibility to do this. The windows application 
uses GDI to draw to the screen. 

There is of course the possibility to catch the GDI calls at some point in
the windows layers and translate them to X11 but there is currently no 
project which has managed to create at least code in alpha stage. 
   

Sawanaka did that.
He ported PEACE on BSD to Cygwin, it seems to be called Cygpeace.
His site is wrote in Japanese. Please use online translation :)

Wow! This is amazing! I wish I had known about it before ...
Still works, I only had to patch it to set the DEFAULT_CHARSET to Ansi 
(see ttfont.cc, line 1140 or so for where to patch this)

Basic instructions for those not wanting to do the translation (actually 
this is all in the page):
Download detours.exe from http://research.microsoft.com/sn/detours/
wget http://www.d1.dion.ne.jp/~sawanaka/peace/cygpeace-030316.tar.gz
Then make cygpeace:

tar zxvf cygpeace-030316.tar.gz
cd peace/dll/cygpeace
make
make install
Note that you make it in the cygpeace directory, don't try make in the 
ui.so.dll directory
To extract and make detours (requires Visual C++)

$ ./detours.exe ([unzip to folder:] ./detours)
$ cd detours
$ rm lib/detours.pdb
$ nmake
$ cp samples/bin/withdll.exe /usr/local/bin/
To run a standard windows program using the hook to display in XWindows:
$ export PEACE_FONTPATH=`cygpath -u $WINDIR/Fonts`
$ export DISPLAY=:0.0
$ XWin -rootless 
$ openbox  # this is just to run a window manager
$ withdll -d:peacehook.dll winmine
To compile a program to use the hook interface directly:
$ cat msgbox.c
#include windows.h
int main()
{
   MessageBox(NULL, test, NULL, MB_OK);
   return 0;
}
$ gcc msgbox.c -o msgbox -L/usr/local/lib -lui.so
$ export DISPLAY=:0.0
$ ./msgbox
Voila. It even works on a remote X session from Linux :-)

I guess that's the main difference. 
 

I've updated to cygwin 1.5.9 now, and reproduced your bug
I haven't tried it on a clean install.
It is worthwhile checking out previous error messages or using gdb for a 
backtrace ... in my case the segfault was a font encoding issue, might

The backtrace ended in cygwin1.dll. I'll try a debug build later.
 

I found that commenting out the add_uithread calls as in the following 
patch got the msgbox example to work.
But the withdll still doesn't work. Will be interested to hear the debug 
build result.
BTW what mailing list should we discuss this on?

No. There is currently no possibility to do this. The windows application 
uses GDI to draw to the screen. 

There is of course the possibility to catch the GDI calls at some point in
the windows layers and translate them to X11 but there is currently no 
project which has managed to create at least code in alpha stage.

Sawanaka did that.
He ported PEACE on BSD to Cygwin, it seems to be called Cygpeace.
His site is wrote in Japanese. Please use online translation :)

Do you really need that?  Have you tried -multiwindow or -rootless?  These 
options will allow you to still see your Windows desktop and other Windows 
apps behind your X apps.

Use -multiwindow if you are not using a separate window manager
Use -rootless if you are using a separate window manager
If you are using XDM it usually starts a separate window manager for you, 
so try it with -rootless.
