1] You must be talking about Cygwin/X, so your question might be better
of directed to that mailing list.
2] It worked just fine for me on my dual monitor set up, at least opening
up various X windows. I don't use xemacs but rather GNU emacs, so I'm not sure
what the problem might be.
3] As Cygwin/X is sort of an orphan package, you might look into the Xming package,
