Christian,
This question is really off-topic for this mailing list.
I am not agree (please, see below cause i think Cygwin/XFree
doesn't give events to the window manager and so it is a bug).

Thanks a lot for information links and usage about twm.
When you press F1 the mouse cursor has to be over the root window
and the mouse cursor does not change to a black circle like it does with the
iconify menu command. However, the next window title that you click on
(yes, it has to be the title) will get iconified.
It is the same for me (you did show me the way).
So, the behavior is a little strange, but I can't tell you if this is
different than the way binding F1 to inconify would work on, say, Linux.
I did some tests on a Gnu/Linux (Redhat 7.0):
1/ put mouse cursor on a shell window and press F1:
a) Cygwin/XFree
Nothing, to iconify a window you must:
- put the mouse cursor on the root window
- press F1
- clic on the title window
b) Gnu/Linux/XFree
The window is iconified with one click, on the title of the
window or on the body of the window.
2/ put mouse cursor on the emacs window and press F1:
a) Cygwin/XFree
Emacs calls the help menu of emacs
b) Gnu/Linux/XFree
The emacs window is iconified.
my conclusion:
Cygwin/XFree doesn't give the F1 event to the window manager.
I consider it is a bug 8-
In past, the same tests with XWin32 gives good results.
So, what is wrong ?
Thanks a lot for any help.
Cpm.
