I want the users who are having Display problem to try win32-x11 project
server. That one does not use UNIX domain socket. Uses Windows default
TCP/IP. Perhaps it shoudl work and might give some clues where to trouble
shoot Cygwin/XFree86. The win32-X11 server is now xdmcp enabled. It has
all the
enxtensions except XFree86 extensions which are rarely needed.
