[Xastir] Cygwin problem, probably routine

[Rob Locher W7GH]

Hi Curt and David, and thank you for venturing to answer my question.   
Unfortunately I left out a crucial fact the first time around: XASTIR  
worked just fine for a few days when I first installed it.  So I don't  
think that the problem is with the installation.

(And for the record, I followed the old Cygwin install instructions first,  
and ran into problems in the configure step.  David heard my pitiful cries  
for help and unveiled the new Cygwin install instructions, which worked.)

Also I discovered that if I get the problem and kill XASTIR, then xterm  
works again.  I previously reported that xterm doesn't respond to keyboard  
or mouse events either once XASTIR stops responding.

I don't think that it has to do with the NumLock/CapsLock problem.  If I  
forget to turn NumLock off and click on something in XASTIR, I get told  
firmly but politely to turn off NumLock.

Also the problem seems to be somewhat intermittent; sometimes I can get  
the right-click menu to work.  I've been playing with it, and I can't seem  
to duplicate the problem every time.

This seems like a weird one.  I think I'll see if anyone in the Cygwin  
community might have any ideas...
