xfree fails to establish listening socket on Windows terminal server

[Kent Tong <kent at cpttm dot org dot mo>]

Hi,

I am using xorg-x11-base (6.8.99.901-1) on Cygwin (1.5.25-14). It
works fine on my computer but it fails on a Windows 2003 terminal
server. If I login as the Administrator, it works. If I login as a normal
user, it fails with the following error. So, this is definitely a permission
problem. Any idea? Thanks!

----- error message ------
$ startx

_XSERVTransMakeAllCOTSServerListeners: server already running

Fatal server error:
