Why not just reply to the previous message. That way I can easily keep track of what
was already suggested and I don't have to search the mailbox for some messages from
Allen H. Nugent.

I've been quite busy the last day and had no access to a cygwin host. I don't want to
tell you nonsense and like to check if my answers work before I send them out to users.

Make _sure_ xorg-x11-bin-dlls package is installed. Reinstall that package. _Don't_
reinstall any xfree-* packages.

There exists the cygcheck command which can check if a package was installed and verify
if all files from that package are present. I don't know the command syntax to check
this but cygcheck --help should give you some hints.

Verify with cygcheck that
- xorg-x11-bin-dlls is installed
- all files from xorg-x11-bin-dlls are present and not modified
