I had a similar issue. If you do a from scratch install recently, you do not get the "XWin Server" under "Cygwin-X". For my install I did install the x windows, and can start from startx in the shell or the startxwin.bat, just no menu item. -Bill -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
