  That would be a bug/limitation.  The win32 version has a config option to
send command-key combinations to the other end.

  True, but I think it's an XP bug rather than a cygwin one, it does that all
the time, particularly if you happen to be holding down a key or anything.  MS
have done something baaaad to the alt-tab-ordering/vs/minimize-and-restore
behaviour in between 2k and xp.  I'm always alt-tabbing these days and finding
some window I thought I'd minimized jumps up instead of the next-most-recent
one I was expecting...

  This is OT for cygwin apps now.  Fup-To set, bock-bock-b'gaaawk!
