It's not correct to say that the patch was 'dismissed'. It had some technical issues and until someone worked on them, it wasn't going to get applied. Anyhow, as part of some other work, I recently looked over this patch again, and fixed those problems, so this fix should be included in the next cygwin Xserver release. I've uploaded a snapshot at [1]. Perhaps you could try that and see if it fixes the issue for you?
