I recently upgraded to Cygwin 1.5.7(0.109/3/2), including
XWin release 4.3.0.56 installed from XFree86-bin-4.3.0-16.tar.bz2

Now when I try to run one particular remote X application (my MUA) I get
this error:

X Error of failed request:  BadAtom (invalid Atom parameter)
 Major opcode of failed request:  18 (X_ChangeProperty)
 Atom id in failed request:  0xee
 Serial number of failed request:  12
 Current serial number in output stream:  15

The remote (linux) machine has not had its sshd config changed since
2002.  It has "X11Forwarding yes", and used to work fine.

If I ssh -X into the machine, DISPLAY is set to localhost:10.0

Any reason we don't tell people to use "ssh -Y" instead of "ssh -X"? That is the new command-line parameter to use trusted X11 forwarding and it works like a charm.
