So, some (good? but at least interesting) news: The version of the Intel GMA Drivers affects whether the bad behavior happens.
These are GMA (Graphics Media Accelerator) drivers for Windows 7 / Vista x64 for the Intel 4 Series Express chipset. The releases are numbers 8.15.10.nnnn, where nnnn is what I will use to distinguish each one. 2202 (most recent) fails 2189 (latest send around by Windows Update) fails 2182 I have not yet tested 2104 works! 2021 probably also works (did before), but not explicitly tested The good thing is that I can now work with less annoyance. The bad thing is that I can't use the latest drivers. Let me know if there is anything I can do to help push XWin forward in handling whatever "new" it is that the Intel drivers are doing.
