Folks:

I am using windows-windows (not X) rxvt with the Virtual Dimension virtual 
desktop manager, and I'm seeing occasional screen redraw issues.

Sometimes when I switch back to a virtual desktop that has some rxvt 
windows open, not all of the text that was in those windows is properly 
redrawn. Usually what happens is only the first dozen or so columns are 
redrawn, and the rest of the window is blank.

Occasionally the window will be redrawn with the prompt on the top line, 
as if a ^L had been typed in that session.

It seems more likely to happen the longer the rxvt virtual desktop has 
been inactive, and it seems more likely to happen if multiple rxvt windows 
are on that virtual desktop.

A search of the mailing list shows someone having similar problems with 
the MS VDM in 2004: http://sourceware.org/ml/cygwin/2004-04/msg00218.html

My cygwin .dll and rxvt are up-to-date.

Any ideas?

  The economic crisis we are now suffering is the inevitable and
  predictable consequence of the government meddling in the mortgage
  lending industry a decade ago. To try to control the scope of this
  crisis, more government meddling in the financial services industry
  is proposed. Why does anyone think that would not also be a disaster?
