overlapping windows in cygwin


Hi,

I've just installed the latest version of cygwin, that I use to connect
from my WindowsXP laptop to our linux farms at the university. I run
startxwin.bat (as a shortcut from my desktop) and, from the cygwin
terminal window I then jump to wherever I need to. My startxwin.bat is
the default one that comes with the cygwin installation:

SET CYGWIN_ROOT=\cygwin

SET PATH=.;%CYGWIN_ROOT%\bin;%CYGWIN_ROOT%\usr\X11R6\bin;%PATH%

SET XAPPLRESDIR=/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/app-defaults
SET XCMSDB=/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/Xcms.txt
SET XKEYSYMDB=/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/XKeysymDB
SET XNLSPATH=/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/locale

if not exist %CYGWIN_ROOT%\tmp\.X11-unix\X0 goto CLEANUP-FINISH
attrib -s %CYGWIN_ROOT%\tmp\.X11-unix\X0
del %CYGWIN_ROOT%\tmp\.X11-unix\X0

:CLEANUP-FINISH
if exist %CYGWIN_ROOT%\tmp\.X11-unix rmdir %CYGWIN_ROOT%\tmp\.X11-unix

run XWin -multiwindow -clipboard -silent-dup-error

run xterm -fn 6x13 -g 140x24 -si -sk -sb -fg black -bg Wheat -T "cygwin
terminal Window" -e /usr/bin/tcsh -l

I'm simply using Windows as my window manager (not running twm or fvwm
or anything like that); when I have several windows, I would like to
focus on each one of them (and so activate them) by just pointing my
mouse to the window, instead of clicking on them. Does anyone know if it
is possible (and in case how to do it) ?

I also noticed that for some graphical programs (like PAW, for example,
the physics analysis workstatio developed at CERN), when an xterm window
is overlapped to the graphics window, the part of the plot that is
covered by the xterm is cancelled and when I focus back to the graphic
window (by clicking on it) my plot is partially deleted. Any idea why
this happens ?

Many thanks for any help/suggestion !
