Just to amplify this a little.  This is a workaround for an issue which 
prevents Java applications which use SWT/Motif (which will be on platforms 
where Motif is the default windowing toolkit e.g. AIX, HP-UX and perhaps some 
older Solaris) from working with the Cygwin/X server.  The most notable 
example of such an application is possibly Eclipse.

You can see the SWT bug which is the underlying cause [1]
