I don't know, but I have some more (albeit not much more) information to
contribute.  If I patch Cygwin with the attached, then I get the
following:

    8 [win] python 2144 Winmain: Cannot register window class, Win32 error 1410

We also have the following:

    $ fgrep 1410 /usr/include/w32api/winerror.h 
    #define ERROR_CLASS_ALREADY_EXISTS 1410L

<WAG>
So, it seems that Cygwin is calling RegisterClass() with the same
WNDCLASS more than once.
</WAG>

Does the above ring any bells?

Thanks,
Jason
