Running setxkbmap with each layouts (ca, fr_CA, ca_enhanced) don't fix the problem. In all case, the French accents are replaced by a BEEP and any character is displayed. However, I can make a cut and paste from WinXP without any problem. Concerning the key mapping, I'm using fr_CA on my Debian at home and it's working great. However, as Cygwin run on Windows, I presume that the best would be to keep the same keyboard mapping that Windows uses.
