Ok - just an FYI - F12+Cygwin 1.7 seems rock solid with -extension
Composite. Been up for a while now, tried all sorts of stuff that was
problematic earlier. The only anomaly I encountered (minor) was the
cursor not tracking correctly in a Virt-viewer window. That was probably
pushing things anyway as the proper way is to run VNC remotely, not in a
remote X session... but I figured I'd try to break it.

Ok - that worked. Was able to remove -noclipboard as well. Will use
for a while and make sure it stays up... so far, so good.

Connecting to F12 running Gnome, running python based applications
causes Xwin to segfault. For example, running virt-manager kills Xwin
immediately. Most of the F12 admin tools exhibit this behavior. I tried
-swcursor based on some old discussions on this list regarding Java
crashing Xwin (from 2007). Doesn't help now :(
Anyone have suggestions?
I can't even use XDMCP to log-in to Fedora 12 (Constantine), due to
random segfaults :-(
These seem to be due to a bad interaction between the damage tracking
for the Composite extension and damage tracking for the shadow
framebuffer.
So can you try disabling the composite extension with '-extension
Composite'? (note the captialization)
