This problem has been solved in the mailing archive. Here is snip from my modified startxwin.bat file.
-------snip---- REM REM Cleanup after last run. REM REM Mount local user %TEMP% as /tmp mount -f -u -t "%TEMP%" /tmp if not exist %CYGWIN_ROOT%\tmp\.X11-unix\X0 goto CLEANUP-FINISH attrib -s %CYGWIN_ROOT%\tmp\.X11-unix\X0 del %CYGWIN_ROOT%\tmp\.X11-unix\X0 ---snip----- The solution is to mount the users own tmp (system variable %TEMP% or %TMP% directory as /tmp for CygwinX. This is what I do in a WinXP Lab and no issues.
