OK, I tried dropping to the previous version of Cygwin's xfree. Same problem.
Next, I tried Florimon's advice. I was slightly confused, so I may have screwed things up: (1) First, I assumed 'fputte' was some account name that was personal to that setup. So, I tried to see who I am through....whoami. It told me administrator, so I used that in the suggested command, modified for Administrator, i.e. mkpasswd -d -u Administrator >> /etc/passwd Cygwin informed me that it could not find that user. (2) I tried running through startxwin.sh, same problem. Wayne
