/me returns to the original topic.

I occasionally have trouble with screen as well, and as far as I can
tell, it always happens when trying to create a new screen. =A0(To be
clear, when I start screen the first time or when I press: ctrl-a c)
So, it may be that screen itself is not the problem in my case.
Because this occurs only rarely, I have no idea how to duplicate it,
and I think disabling any programs that /might/ be interfering would
be inconclusive at best. =A0If it happens again, is there anything I can
do that would lead to a proper diagnosis?

I should probably also point out that when I work with cygwin, I work
almost exclusively with text-based programs.  So, I rarely have a need
for X, and I use a command prompt window. =A0Is there a better terminal
for those circumstances?
