I received an e-mail this morning from a gentleman named Joachim
König-Baltes concerning this issue.  He found an old post in the
Dexpot forums with a different issue, but the solution is working for
him (and for me) and now the latest version of xorg-server in Cygwin
is working with Dexpot again.

The forum post is here:
   http://dexpot.de/forum/viewtopic.php?f=12&t=3297

This post has a file to download and place into the Dexpot
installation directory.  Restart Dexpot and it will work correctly
with xorg-server 1.17.2-1 again.

In case that forum post goes away, the solution is to create a file
name 'myweschsel.ini' in the Dexpot install directory and simply put
the following 2 lines in it and restart Dexpot.

[Exe]
XWin.exe=move

Thanks to Joachim for finding and sharing this solution!
