Do you happen to use remote desktop or anything like it?

Yes, I occasionally remote desktop into the machine.

I occasionally get this on my laptop as well (running XP sp1 and latest
cygwin+xorg). This happens in local xterms as well. It might have happened
after doing some ssh -X somewhere_else stuff, but I wouldn't call that
remote desktop (but maybe you would).

Note that I almost never reboot my laptop but hibernate it and drag it
around. Don't know if this would upset the X server.

I have had other occasional weird things such as the X server refusing
connection from everything (saying something along the lines of refusing
connection from xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:0 which was my current IP number). I
thought this might have happened because my IP number changed from when I
started the server, but I haven't been able to reproduce this.

Thanks for all the effort!

Mouse pointer disappears

[Ed Avis]

With the current Cygwin X server (or what is as close as I can get to
the current one, because cygwin.com is unreachable for me) I have
noticed that the mouse pointer disappears when the window has focus.
If I just move the pointer over the X server window and it isn't
focused then the pointer changes into a correct X pointer for the
application running in the X server (for example it changes into an
up-down arrow when hovering over the modeline in xemacs).  But as soon
as I click in the X server window to give it focus, the mouse pointer
disappears and remains disappeared as long as the pointer location is
above the X server window, and that window is focused.

I can't reproduce this every time but I have seen it on a few
occasions.  Here is a log file:
