Sounds similar to this problem I reported a while back...

Subject: Bug report: Using Cygwin-Xfree through Remote Desktop
Sharing (RDP)

This is complicated, so I'll try to be clear.
Let's say you have machine A, which is a Windows XP machine that has
Cygwin
and Cygwin-XFree installed on it.
You use A to connect to B. B is a machine running Linux and X.
Everything so far works.
Then you use machine C (a machine running Windows 2000) to
remote-control
machine A with Windows XP Remote Desktop Client (RDP).
Machine C can use machine A's Cygwin-XFree connection and view
machine B. No
problem.
However, when machine C breaks its connection to machine A, machine A's
Cygwin-XFree will no longer display machine B. It will instead display a
white screen in Cygwin-XFree.
Although I am pretty sure that A is still connected and controlling
B, it
can no longer see B's display.
It seems like Remote Desktop Client mucks-up Cygwin-XFree.
I hope that that was clear enough.
Thanks.
