Cygwin does support rootless mode. Works beautifully, and has worked for me for at least the last 6 years. Now they even ship with a Start Menu shortcut called "XWin Server" that starts it along with an xterm. However, as I mentioned in another email, I really don't want to install emacs on the VM. The tramp option over ssh sounds like a great idea. I just need to figure out how to make it work. Regards, Rajesh J Advani
