I had the wrong cygwin1.dll.  Now I get the grey screen of death :-) and
nothing comes up.  Here's my startxwin.bat:

@echo off
SET DISPLAY=127.0.0.1:0.0
SET PATH=%PATH%;\usr\X11R6\bin;\cygwin\usr\bin
start XWin -screen 0 800x600x16 -whitepixel 255 -blackpixel 0
#start XWin -screen 0 1024x768x16 -whitepixel 255 -blackpixel 0
start /B xterm -sl 1000 -sb -rightbar -ms red -fg yellow -bg black -e
bash
start /B rxvt -fn "Lucidia Console-12"
start /B vtwm

When I remove /B the X screen locks the keyboard and mouse when I put
them
back X starts but non of those apps start.
