I know that for a fact since early this year but I launch startxwin.bat from a Cygwin prompt anyway. The reason is that if I double-click the batch file from Windows Explorer, that batch file will *not* clean up my /tmp/.X11-unix/X0 file the next time, which means I cannot run it again subsequently. I'm on Windows XP. Apparently, my WinXP user priviledges are not the same as Cygwin priviledges even if the loginid are the same. How do I fix it so that I can launch from Windows Explorer?
