You mean you can change the permissions in a bash console window with
chmod, but not with chmod from an Xterm?
More likely, you are running an NT variant at work and 9x at home? See:
http://cygwin.com/faq/faq_toc.html#TOC45 and
http://cygwin.com/cygwin-ug-net/highlights.html#OV-HI-PERM
In that case, this is not Xfree86 related, so next time please use the
main cygwin@cygwin.com mailing list. Also, see:
http://www.cygwin.com/problems.html
for how to report this issue correctly so that someone can answer without
guessing. Thanks.
