I just re-installed Cygwin on my machine, deleted my .bash_profile,
.bashrc and .Xdefaults in my home, and I still have the same
numlock/capslock issue.
My config is quite standard : Windows XP SP2. It is easily
reproductible I guess.
BTW, in startxwin.bat, this line :
SET CYGWIN_ROOT=\cygwin
is true only if you install Cygwin in the default path. I had to
change it to match my configuration, otherwise the "XWin Server" does
not work.
