I think the first thing to do is just check if FreeFonts () is being 
called twice on some server resets.  If it is, then the problem is 
simple: prevent it from being called twice.  If FreeFonts () is not 
called twice, then the problem could be more difficult to track down.

Yes, the latest code for Cygwin/X is in the xorg repository on 
freedesktop.org, you made your patch against the correct source.

Thanks for the patch!

By the way, is there anything that makes this just apply to Japanese 
keyboard layouts, or is it generally applicable to all keyboard layouts 
being lost on a server reset in Xdcmp sessions?
