starting the X server. I had been using the stock icon to launch the X server,
which shortcuts to:

Apologies for sending this to the list, but I could not find the answer
on the web pages. I'm having a few quirks with the mailing list that I'd like
to ask the postmaster about, but I can't find a contact point. Does anyone
know of one?

I didn't notice that because the results
didn't change. Here's the more typical session:
[SNIP]
mike-ayers-lap> echo $DISPLAY
127.0.0.1:0.0
mike-ayers-lap> ssh -Y may...@mikeayers-linux-2
Warning: No xauth data; using fake authentication data for X11 forwarding.

You've read this, yes?
http://x.cygwin.com/docs/faq/cygwin-x-faq.html#q-xdmcp-query
Specifically, check your Windows firewall config. You will need to
explicitly open the X11 port, as there is, IIUC, no outgoing packet from that
port.
