cygwin-xfree-x11r6.4-cygwin-B20.1.tar.bz2
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ This for B20.1. Too many
people are mixing
bibnaries for Cygwin B20.1 and 1.1.x. I might delete B20.1 suported
binaries. Everything in xc-4-binaries, except
cygwin-xfree-x11r6.4-cygwin-B20.1.tar.bz2,
are for cygwin 1.1.x

Use Xterm from xfree86-4.0-Xterm.tar.bz2
The mwm is b20.1. For Cygwin 1.1.x you can get mwm from Lesstif
distribution
at http://www.lesstif.org

GGI/GII are used for input X... and XGGI is linked to them, thus GGI/GII
control the input and output, plus display.

none of the xterm binaries are linked to GGI. Your problem is mixing X Dist
for B20.1
with XF86 for Cygwin 1.1.x. Which definitely would cause all kind of
troubles and unstability.
