A service interacting with the desktop is an undependable feature at best.
MS effectively removed support for it after XP.  Even with XP, it seems
flaky.  Based on that state of affairs, I would say that it's unlikely
that Cygwin will be able to reinstate this through any kind of magic going
forward.  There are some knowledge base articles in the MSDN that talk about
options to enable the station in a service to access another, which may
provide some relief.  Off the top of my head, I don't recall more specific
pointers or details but it's something you could investigate if you're
curious.
