Marc's answer is a little defeatist, I think, but Cygwin does seem to
have issues with Unicode filenames, and it's not just X.
On my XP Pro system, if I create a file named "fünf.txt", it shows up
properly in all three of the Windows GUI, Cygwin in a standard command
window, and a Cygwin xterm... but Cygwin reports the filename using
Latin-1. Hm.
If I then, using the Windows GUI, rename it to пять.txt, then Cygwin
can no longer deal with it at all. No matter what I set the locale
to. Even just running "ls" causes an error. It appears that
readdir() is returning "????.txt", with literal question marks, which
stat() etc. can't find.
