Try giving the -multiplemonitors option to XWin.

P.S. You shouldn't need to reinstall Cygwin after patching XP.

--- I tried with -multiplemonitors and still have the same results. Here
is the Xwin start command: 
--- %RUN% XWin -multiplemonitors -multiwindow -clipboard
-silent-dup-error

that /tmp is mounted from

this is related. Thanks.
