Well NO!!! This is not a Cygwin/Xfree issue. It is Hummingbird Exceed
issue. Therefore contact Hummingbird at http://www.hummingbird.com.
Exceed starts with a built-in Windows-manager, therefore I do not think you
can use kwm. Regardless contact Hummingbird. It is neither Cygwin nor
Cygwin/Xfree issue.
