[Xastir] Cygwin problem, probably routine

[David Flood]

Rob,

How recently did you install and which set of installation directions 
did you use?  If you had an installation previous to the recent 
"upgrade" in Cygwin, I've found that doing that upgrade isn't worth it. 
  Kill the Cygwin directory (or at least everything but the Home sub 
direcotory) and then reinstall using the new directions in the 
Readme.Cygwin file.  An upgrade from the old packages to the new ones 
leaves too much garbage behind.

The other thing I'd try is to make sure that you aren't using a special 
or add-on screen saver.  It's possible that the screen saver is changing 
the screen resolution or pallet and that is messing with the X-Windows 
session.
