You can just continue there. These (annoying) segfaults are catched in cygwin1.dll

I'll check it. But there are still some issues with multiplemonitors (mm)

- mm mode will override the workspace settings (==Desktop size - taskbar and stuff)
  This is fine in multiwindow mode but is a mess in windowed mode.
- window in windowed mode will always span the whole desktop and some windows may be 
  placed in dead area (not visible because of different screen resolutions)

I'll see if I can make mm default for multiwindow and mwextwm leave it disabled 
with windowed and rootless mode
