Yes.  This was the bug that I referred to in the cygwin list.  It hit me
at one point in a clean installation and I have been meaning to go back
to debug it.

Please check this in, Dave.

There is one other minor problem in that the maximized screen settings stay
around when  you do a <Back.  I thought I'd fixed that but it still seems
to be an issue.  I'll fix that for real soon.
