John, Did you ever try using the Cygwin/X server?
Been quite a while since I've used it but I think there was a way toreconnect a lost mouse pointer from the menu.

In fact, we are eagerly anticipating better performance in general using libssh rather than ssh via Cygwin for the same reason - John
I just loaded Cygwin/X and now there is no menu option to reconnect mouse.
Agree on the network stack issue. If it's not using the native windows network stack then performance will not be good.
