It sounds like a bug in your w32 server. Does this happen only with Emacs or can you see it with any other X client, like xterm? Can you first start an xterm on GNU/Linux and then Emacs? Does it happen then? It sounds like your w32 server doesn't flush the out queue of the first remote client properly. Jan D.
