I see.  You didn't mention this before.

I don't think that's a supported way of running cygwin.

Things would probably work better if you set the mount table for each computer 
so it had /tmp mounted on a local disk, rather than having them all share one.

The "/tmp/.X11-unix/Xn" files are not lock files.  They are unix domain sockets.

You could avoid them being created by using '-nolisten unix', which probably 
avoids this specific problem.
