I have MS Forefront client security, configured to omit the Cygwin 
directories, but I really doubt that's the problem.

More details about what I do to reproduce the not-refreshing problem 
(not the blank window problem, that seems to be fixed by the patched 
XWin binary, and judging by other comments in this thread seems to be a 
known issue unrelated to VirtuaWin).

  - multiple xterms running on remote machines displaying locally,
    over multiple 'ssh -Y' connections, i.e. I do
       ssh -Y remote-machine xterm

  - windows are on adjacent desktops, using overlapping areas of the
    screen

  - switch between the desktops, note how the windows on the new
    desktop are still displaying the content of the windows on the
    previous desktop.  Alas, it doesn't always happen, but it
    happens a lot.

In VirtuaWin I have "Static taskbar & Z order" set for "On desktop 
change preserve".  I did try using different hiding methods for XWin 
windows in VirtuaWin, but didn't find anything that worked.

Cheers,
	Simon
