Yes.
What about the dialogs? Do they look OK or are they all black too?
Jim told me that he had Windows machines with Cygwin installed.
The last supported Cygwin port for a windows Lyx was 1.3.1
which did require an X server. Lyx 1.3.5 and 1.3.6 for Windows
didn't need an X server nor Cygwin.
The *nix LyX releases all need an X server. I suppose they would
run on Windows if they could be built using Cygwin. But one needs
quite a bit of expert knowledge of Cygwin to get the switches right.
I think the most likely reason for a problem with the Windows OS
using Cygwin and producing Black LyX is that the wrong version
of LyX is being used. I doubt that Cygwin Lyx 1.3.1 is employed.

What Isn't Cygwin?
"Cygwin is not a way to run native linux apps on Windows. You have
to rebuild your application from source if you want to get it running
on Windows.
Cygwin is not a way to magically make native Windows apps aware
of UNIX functionality, like signals, ptys, etc. Again, you need to build
your apps from source if you want to take advantage of
Cygwin functionality."
