Hi,

I can confirm redraw funkiness on Windows 2000 Pro SP3.

I'm seeing window frame redraws offset several hundred pixels from the 
proper location. I routinely make my windows as high as the terminal, and 
the displaced frame was drawn with only a horizontal offset from the proper 
location. The body of the window, including new contents were drawn in the 
correct place, however when uncovering the window via ALT-Tab switching the 
redraw of the newly re-exposed areas of the window occurred in the offset 
location. However, if I minimize the window in front and expose RXVT's 
window that way, it redraws correctly.

I'm sure if I kept playing around I could find more fascinating symptoms, 
but I'm losing interest. I didn't try any resizing, for example. Color "ls" 
output seemed OK, but I use it so rarely I probably wouldn't notice if 
there was something wrong unless it was gross...or grotesque.

Given the behavior I'm seeing, I probably couldn't use RXVT. I only 
installed the update to confirm some of the symptoms reported here, since I 
rarely use RXVT.

This is the invocation of RXVT I use (from a shortcut in my QuickLaunch bar):

D:\cygwin\bin\rxvt.exe -g 110x89+485+-1
         -bg #dddddd -fg #000000
         -fn "Lucida ConsoleP-11"
         -sr -sl 5000 -tn rxvt -vb
         -e /bin/bash --login -i


If the maintainer or anyone attempting to debug this symptom would like any 
specific tests run, just let me know.
