Re: Can't get startwin.bat to work

[Mark Paulus <mark dot paulus at mci dot com>]

Have you tried to open up a cygwin shell, and then 
starting up an xterm, to see if it might just be there, awaiting
connections?  If you open in multiwindow mode (native mode
by default), then I wouldn't expect anything to happen until
your X Server actually has a client window to display.

open up a cygwin bash shell, make sure your DISPLAY is set, 
or give the -display option to some xclient (xterm, xclock, etc),
and see if it pops up on your desktop.
