Is there an update to cygwin's x server I don't know about or are you just 
now noticing that Xasitr can be minimized?  I'm confused.  I haven't been 
running cygwin/xastir very long (a couple of weeks maybe?) but I've always 
been able to do what it sounds like you're talking about here.

I have a shortcut on my desktop that goes straight to a modified 
"startxwin.bat" that loads Xastir directly without further input and is 
loaded into a full screen window labeled "Cygwin/XFree86 rl".  and this 
window can be minimized.

The only thing I don't like about the cygwin xwindow interface is the 
unusefull generic winows title bar.  If there is a way to regain that space 
I'd like to hear about it.
