I can't reproduce this on my system. I'm running 64-bit Windows 7,
emacs-24.2-1, the latest Cygwin snapshot (2012-08-27), and the test
version of the X server (1.13.0-1). Here's what I tried:
1. Start mintty from the "Cygwin Terminal" shortcut.
2. $ startxwin
3. [still in the mintty window] $ DISPLAY=:0 emacs -Q&
4. In the resulting emacs window, C-z.
5. Left click on the emacs icon to de-iconify emacs.
The cursor blinks and emacs responds to keyboard input.
Are you able to reproduce your problem with 'emacs -Q'?
Ken
P.S. Shouldn't this discussion be taking place on the cygwin-xfree list?
