No Xterms or Window Manager when running startxwin.bat

[Suhaib Siddiqi]

You do not need your ip address 127.0.0.1:0.0 is for localhost.  

What do you see in the console (black windows) for xterm when you press
alt+tab?
I suspect xterm is dying for some reasons.  Edit your startxwin.bat and
comment out rxvt and vtwm
Then see if xterm shows up, if it does then kill the x-server and uncomment
vtwm (that is remove REM before it) and try again.

that is

 @echo off
 SET DISPLAY=127.0.0.1:0.0
 SET PATH=%PATH%;\usr\bin\X11;c:\cygwin\bin
 start XWin -screen 0 1024x768x16 -whitepixel 255 -blackpixel 0
 start xterm -sl 1000 -sb -rightbar -ms red -fg yellow -bg black
REM start rxvt -fn "Lucidia Console-12"
REM start vtwm
