Mr. Dickey and Mr. Barr, I stand corrected.
pv, I apologize for misleading you, and I hope that you do find the
solution to your problem.
My programming experience is with C-like languages, such as PHP, and I
had mistakenly believed that bash tests worked with similar syntax. My

More details - I tried to debug the problem (as much
as I could) and this is what I found out. First I
found out how startx calls xinit -
xinit /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xinit/xinitrc -- \
-multiwindow -clipboard

postinstall scripts). Instead of reinstalling everything with UNIX line
endings, you could have simply issued a
mount -f -b c:/cygwin/tmp /tmp
