XEmacs needs to be built with the "--with-dragndrop" option to configure 
to support drag and drop under Windows. I don't believe the Cygwin 
distribution is built with this flag because it caused some problems for 
some users. See <http://www.cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2004-02/msg00343.html>.

I have been building my own XEmacs 21.4 with support for Windows and 
XEmacs under Cygwin for a long time. I've always used --with-dragndrop 
and have never encountered any problems. You could try to download the 
21.4 source package and rebuild with that option. Perhaps it will work 
for you, too.
