xserv 4.3.0-48 problems


Note! This is *not* a complaint. I love CygWin + xfree86, and I chose to
be at the bleeding edge because of it.

Something terribly wrong happened when I upgraded to -48. Of course
CygWin setup.exe upgraded oodles of other stuff as well....

There is a raft of regressions, so I suspect there must be a common
cause.

- copy&paste from windows to Evolution no longer works.
- copy&paste from linux to windows no longer works.
- When I press alt-2, I no longer get "@", but "2", Norwegian keyboard.
- Evolution shows a disturbing error message upon startup:
'Xlib: extension "RENDER" missing on display "localhost:10.0".'
- If I right click on my "Inbox" in Evolution, I no longer get a menu as
I used to, but lots of error messages from Evolution(after which
Evolution is no longer responsive).
- Rendering in Office/Evolution is no longer double buffered, and it is
considerably slower when rendering e.g. spreadsheets.
- I'm sure there are other problems, but it is a bit hard to take the
thing for a proper spin in its current state.

Things tried:

- compiled from source, but no difference in behaviour.
- downgraded to -46, same problem.

The only thing that I can think of trying, is to wipe my CygWin
installation and reinstall from scratch.
