From where? I believe this should be ~/.Xdefaults, but the nature of
cygwin can make ~ an indefinite place for startup files. I set %HOME%, which
becomes $HOME to what will be ~, but if I put "XTerm*toolbar: false" in
$HOME/.Xdefaults I still have toolbars on my xterms.

Yes, or in my case by ~/.xinitrc, which I copied from
/etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc and modified to taste. But on a recent update startx
opened a root window instead of using the Windows windows - because I rely so
heavily on that, I switched to startxwin.bat, which is why I now have problems
with trhbe value of ~, as well as issues with cut anbd paste (which only seem
to manifest when I have a Windows VNC client running..?). If you can tell me
what I need to do to restore the old behavior of startx, I'll do that and I
think my problems should go away (at least the ~ related ones...).
Thanks,
Mike
