Hi,

I've now noticed this across two different installations, both Windows
10 and Windows 11. I've refrained from attaching a cygcheck output for
the moment, because I'm confident this is reproducible.

What I am seeing is that for Cygwin/X, in multi-window mode (and it
just occurred to me it would be helpful to check the behaviour in
rooted(? manual page terminology) mode. I'll follow-up on this)...
in multi-window mode (Xwin -multiwindow), when I try to open an X window
for any given app, it is not displayed on the first run.

Either nothing happens, and I must ctrl-c the command line and retry, or
a non-visible Window is created, so that the icon tray displays an icon
with the generic X image, but not the icon of the X app itself.

What I understand to be the base control test is to use xbiff. So just
for completeness, this is how I reproduce for xbiff:

terminal 1
===
$ /usr/bin/XWin :1 -nolisten tcp -ac -multiwindow

terminal 2
===
$ DISPLAY=:1; export DISPLAY
$ xbiff
Warning: Cannot convert string "flagup" to type Pixmap
Warning: Cannot convert string "flagdown" to type Pixmap
^C
$ xbiff
Warning: Cannot convert string "flagup" to type Pixmap
Warning: Cannot convert string "flagdown" to type Pixmap
<xbiff displays>

I'll follow-up with my rooted mode observations.
