Harold,
a) Before I attempt this fix, will this work with my old version of everything else? I know that Cygwin has moved ahead since April. Or does installing this start me down a slippery slope...
b) Before I had the sense to ask the question above, I got as far as starting the download process from a mirror that I had previously used. The setup program warned me that a newer setup.ini file would replace the old one, but did not seem to give me a way to cancel out. So, now I have an new setup.ini but old "everything else" files -- and I *do* need the "old everything else" to reinstall on PCs that die, etc. Am I screwed?

Jay,
I just posted XFree86-xserv-4.3.0-20 as a 'test' package; it should be showing up on mirrors within a few hours. When it does, run setup.exe and manually select version '4.3.0-20' for the XFree86-xserv package. Then, run the new server version as usual (do not use the new flag that Kensuke talked about) and report your results to the mailing list.

Dear Kensuke,
Thank you very much for your effort on this.
Unfortunately, I am pretty ignorant of these matters, thus you will have to tell me what it is that I should do with the two .diff files you attached. I will be happy to do whatever with them, but I am clueless as to what is to be done with them.
Sorry to be a pain.

Jay,
Perhaps this patch enable XWin to copy/paste non-ascii characters even if Windows does't support Unicode (95/98/Me). LANG environment variable and Windows locale must be same. I added -nounicodeclipboard option, I tested using this on XP. But I don't have 95/98/Me.
And it seems tha libX11 has some CTEXT convertion bug, I attach patch that based on TAKABE's work. http://www.ff.iij4u.or.jp/~t-takabe/xf410_xim_fix.diff
By the way, nls/locale.alias has alias somethig like "Arabic_Egypt.1256". Can we use that? If so, we no longer need LANG environment variable. We can get it following code.
char pszCountry[128];
char pszLanguage[128];
int nAcp = GetACP ();
GetLocaleInfo (LOCALE_SYSTEM_DEFAULT, LOCALE_SENGCOUNTRY, pszCountry, 128);
GetLocaleInfo (LOCALE_SYSTEM_DEFAULT, LOCALE_SENGLANGUAGE, pszLanguage, 128);
printf ("%s_%s.%d\n", pszLanguage, pszCountry, nAcp);
