Jean,

Having the error message would be helpful.
Most probably, the X server you started is still running and the new one 
can't listen on :0. You can check this by looking for an X icon in the 
system tray (close to the time, usually bottom right of your screen).
You can use this server, just set the DISPLAY variable correctly. You 
can kill the server with a right click and the appropriate menu option.

For the generics of using X, you had better read some generic nix 
documents as:
- X works the same on cygwin as anywhere else
-there is currently no cygwin maintainer for cygwin/X anyway.

Best of luck,

Sylvain RICHARD
