I believe I have those files installed and running but I am unable to 
move the windows.
here is a copy of my bat file (I'm now confused about the xfce versus 
twm... Do I want one or the other? I seem to have both ....)


@echo off
SET DISPLAY=127.0.0.1:0.0
SET PATH=.;%PATH%;\cygwin\bin;\cygwin\usr\X11R6\bin

SET XFCE_DATA=\cygwin\usr\X11R6\var; xfce
