I can promise you that vo_directx is not meant to be used with the GUI.
Look at the code that other vo's use to hook into the GUI, I'd bet that
vo_directx needs some extra code to behave properly under these
conditions.

Perhaps the cygwin port of XFree doesn't support that extension.  It's
not uncommon for ports to be missing features, especially with
complicated projects like an X server.
