You say "restore", but I've never seen this behaviour in rxvt.  Did it=20
only make a transient appearance?

Alt-Space is used in emacs for "just-one-space" which I use frequently.
I can count on the fingers of zero hands the number of times I've ever=20
wanted to summon the window menu using the keyboard from within rxvt.

So, before I update and regret it, can this pandering to a Windows=20
convention at the expense of *nix compatibility be disabled?  If not,=20
I consider this to be a major regression, effectively rendering rxvt=20
useless for me.

Cygwin is fundamentally about facilitating doing things the *nix way=20
in a hostile Windows environment, not about compromising *nix=20
applications in order to make them more friendly for Windows users.
