* Problem with Alt-key not being recognized after X Server window loses focus

Hi,
Recently the X11 server window stopped recognizing the 'Alt' key after
I changed focus to another Windows XP window. When I start the X Server
(xinit), the system recognizes when I press down 'Alt'. However if I
then just click outside the X server window on the Windows XP desktop,
and then back to the X server window, 'Alt' stops working. (I'm running
fvwm and use Alt-mouse-1 to move windows. This works fine until focus
is lost for the first time.)
I don't know exactly when this started, but I've updated cygwin with
the latest X packages and the problem still persists. I am running
Windows XP on a Thinkpad T60p. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Davison
