First step: see if it's a problem in your configuration.
Launch vim with:
gvim -N -u NONE -i NONE
Does the same behavior occur?
Yes.
So this test result concldes that there's no configuration problem. right?
I am now more convinced that this is caused by a Cygwin Xwin (ver.
1.8.2)
Note that the issue is gone after restart of Cygwin, though after a
certain amount of time that the X server is up, it returns. So, looks
like a Cygwin X server bug with a workaround - restart Cygwin. I think
the Linux problem is derivative of the Cygwin problem. I.e. I'm sshing
from Cygwin Xterm
Hi,
I have this strange condition happening both on Cygwin gvim (and vim -
g) and on Linux.
The gvim GUI is missing menu bar (the one with File, Edit etc) and the
main window is not usable, i.e. it's not possible to enter text.
Either that or it's in a font so small as render it invisible.

Also gvim GUI is blocked. i.e. I cant get to insert mode nor to : for
setting options. The GUI seems to be completely unresponsive.
Another interesting thing is that both on Cygwin and on Linux the
problem happens when launching gvim
