RE: xwin on cygwin - cannot connect

Harold,

Yes that's the latest XWin.log off the cygwin installation.  Then I
suppose it's something on the linux box.  Are there logs on there that
would shed some light?  I see that gdm is running from top command:

  PID USER     PRI  NI  SIZE  RSS SHARE STAT %CPU %MEM   TIME CPU

Login screen prompt is on the box.  Am I in the right direction or
something missing?

Andrew,

Hmm... the log file looks okay, you did try a failed connection, then 
send in that XWin.log, right?

I'm going to bed.  Maybe someone else can help.
