Hello all, thanks for your answers. I'll try to make it a little bit more clear:
I'm talking about the *windows* task bar. Both "Keep taskbar on top of other windows" and the auto hide option are checked. Using Windows 2000 (5.00.2195) Service Pack 3 For starting X (sorry I'm a newbie to X), I use C:\cygwin\usr\X11R6\bin\startxwin.bat, which contains run XWin -multiwindow -clipboard -silent-dup-error "Hide root window" of the tray icon is checked (is this allowed?). As long as native windows applications have the focus or none of the windows is maximized, everything works as expected. But if an X application has the focus *and* any other (native or non-native) Window is maximized the taskbar does not show, if I move the mouse to the bottom of the desktop. Pressing the windows key or Ctrl+Esc makes it show (maybe because the xterm looses focus?) Any more information I could provide (or I should read)?
