RE: startxwin/XWin won't start properly
I just tried your procedure, but still get the same error messages from
startxwin. Maybe there is some helpful information in the logfiles I
sent?

My current procedure to start X is as follows:
1. do not set $DISPLAY anywhere. It is just empty.
2. open MinTTY
3. type something like "startxwin /usr/bin/emacs"
That's about it.
