Is this the normal setup found here, http://cygwin.com/setup.exe or is there a difference? I am getting: $ startxfce4 /usr/bin/startxfce4: Starting X server <stdin>:1:3: invalid preprocessing directive #Those <stdin>:2:3: invalid preprocessing directive #or <stdin>:3:3: invalid preprocessing directive #Xft <stdin>:4:3: invalid preprocessing directive #Xft xscreensaver: 03:08:24: couldn't get password of "root" Agent pid 4596 which: no dbus-launch in (/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/cygdrive/c/Program Files /Java/jre6/bin:/cygdrive/c/Windows/system32:/cygdrive/c/Windows:/cygdrive/c/Wind ows/System32/Wbem:/cygdrive/c/Program Files/Common Files/Roxio Shared/DLLShared/ :/cygdrive/c/Program Files/Common Files/Roxio Shared/DLLShared/:/cygdrive/c/Prog ram Files/Common Files/Roxio Shared/9.0/DLLShared/:/cygdrive/c/bin:/cygdrive/c/D /dmd/windows/bin:/cygdrive/c/D/dm/bin:/cygdrive/c/Program Files/QuickTime/QTSyst em/:/cygdrive/c/Program Files/Common Files/DivX Shared/) /usr/bin/xfce4-session.exe: error while loading shared libraries: cygwnck-1-22.d ll: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory Agent pid 4596 killed waiting for X server to shut down xscreensaver: 03:08:24: SIGHUP received: resta rting... xscreensaver: 03:08:24: running as jcabrera/None (1000/513) xscreensaver: 03:08:24: couldn't get password of "root" xscreensaver: 03:08:24: Can't open display: :0 xscreensaver: 03:08:24: running as jcabrera/None (1000/513) xscreensaver: 03:08:24: Errors at startup are usually authorization problems.

I have followed these steps: http://sourceware.org/cygwinports/ twice and I am still getting the same message.
