error when starting X-Win


Hello,

How to delete </tmp/.X11-unix/X0> automatically when closing
X-session or,
how to prevent its emergence when starting X-sesion or,
how to make it re-writable by 'non-Administrator' user?

I've got Cygwin 1.5.23-2 (full installation) on WinXP with two
user accounts. I use 'startx' command to invoke X-Win
with default parameters or options.
When starting X-Win, a file named 'X0' is placed into /tmp/.X11-unix/
and it probably locks the X-server for current user (?)
This file persists after exiting from X-Win and also after exiting
from Cygwin. No problem if I start Cygwin and X-Win again
as the same user, but when I login as another user (different from
Administrator) X-Win cannot be started unless the previous X0 file
is deleted.

Regards,
Martin
