Yu,
Please send all Cygwin-related questions and comments to the Cygwin list,
and not by personal e-mail unless specifically requested. This will
utilize the cumulative expertise of the list, rather than that of any one
person. It also ensures that the question and the answers end up in the
list archives, so that others have access to them.

Speaking of the archives, I suspect that the threads starting at
<http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2003-09/msg00570.html> and
<http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2003-10/msg00005.html> would be informative
on this issue. FWIW, I've found most of these messages by searching the
Cygwin list archives (at <http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/>) for
"XFree86-bin-icons".
