After much turmoil, I've managed to get a number of window managers
running in Cygwin/X. What I'm wondering is this: Is it at all
possible to allow my windows programs to be managed by my Cygwin/X
window manager? Presently, if I'm in -fullscreen mode and I'm running
some X programs, I'd have to alt+tab out of X and into explorer.
If this isn't possible, what would I have to do to make it possible?
Maybe write an X program to 'trap' the window of a Windows program
into an invisible X window. Or something like that.

there a various ways to run the X server in cygwin.
Read the comments in and then try altering /usr/X11R6/bin/startxwin.sh
to meet your needs. For example....

XWin -rootless -clipboard -silent-dup-error &
# Startup an xterm, using bash as the shell.
xterm -e /usr/bin/bash -l &
rxvt -e /usr/bin/bash -l &
#
# Startup the twm window manager.
# WARNING: Do not use an external window manager in conjunction with
# the ``-multiwindow'' command-line parameter for XWin. Doing so
# would start two window managers, which is never supposed to happen.
