Sorry, I hadn't noticed that you are describing a crash in the Qt 
client, not the Cygwin X server.

So, firstly, this is a Qt issue.

It may well be that the multiwindow mode window manager for the Cygwin X 
server doesn't satisfy some expectation that Qt has (and I would be 
interested to know what that is), but Qt crashing is never the right
thing to do.

A backtrace of the Qt client when it crashes might be informative.

Nevertheless, I tried your reproducer in a Ubuntu 12.04 32-bit VM, but 
wasn't able to observe any crash.

I note that an Ubuntu 12.04 only seems to have Qt 4.8.1.  Are you using 
a self-built Qt?
