You might want to extract the modified exitscript from post-install.zip
from http://members.optushome.com.au/lukekendall/xwin-network.html to
work around a bug in the old version of Window Maker included in Cygwin.
That file goes into ~/GNUstep/Library/WindowMaker/

It's basically this:

#!/bin/sh
#
# Place commands to be executed when WindowMaker is exited here.
#
# WindowMaker will wait until this script finishes, so if you run any
# commands that take long to execute (like a xterm), put a ``&'' in the
# end of the command line.
#
# This file must be executable.
#
cd
if [ -d GNUstep/Defaults ]
then
    cd GNUstep/Defaults
    for f in WMState WindowMaker WMGLOBAL WMRootMenu WMWindowAttributes
    do
        tr -d '\015' < $f > $f.fix
        cp $f.fix $f
    done
    /bin/rm -f  $f.fix
fi
