Help, I can't get X started!

Okay, here goes.

I've been trying most of the night to get an x session up on my win98se 
machine.

The first problem I ran into was a username with a space in it.  This is a 
single user machine, and logs me on as Archai Valkryn.  That space wreaked 
havoc with pathnames.  Eventually, I got it sorted out.

...and turned to trying to get an X session up.  It won't go.  If I just try 
to run xwin.exe directly, it gives an error about not being able to find 
cygwinx.dll.  I assume that's a bad thing.

The install also didn't give me a startxwin.bat file--anywhere.  What next?
