Just for the record, this is not a problem with Linux itself or any
popular desktop setup when it is installed locally. I use KDE and it
handles window switching just like Windows, by default. I recall that
GNOME handles it similarly, as does Blackbox and probably just about
every other window manage/desktop environment. The problem is with
Cygwin, not Linux.
