this, but do any of the following help:
1) creating a ~/.startxwinrc containing just xterm ?
Same problem. No xterm.
2) changing that .startxwinrc to run xterm?

I have a very strange situation.
At work, I am running Win XP SP3. I installed all the latest Cygwin
(1.7.1) + Xorg updates, including startxwin.exe. Everything works

At home, I am running Windows 7 Professional, 64-bit. I am unable to
