Any particular reason to think that this is an issue with Cygwin
rather than your remote systems?

Resizing is working fine here when connected to a Debian box either
via ssh or telnet running in a local xterm. If you're running xterm on
the remote system with only its display forwarded to your Cygwin/X
server, then Cygwin doesn't have anything to do with the terminal
resize notifications.
