Then perhaps a refresher on exactly what xwinwm is would help:

http://www.cygwin.com/ml/cygwin-xfree-announce/2004-04/msg00013.html

When we refer to multiwindow, we mean the builtin mode you get with XWin
- -multiwindow.  xwinwm is something different: it depends on WindowsWM,
which is not available right now.

Really, think about it, does it make any sense to talk about
enhancements to something which doesn't work?
