| The first problem I ran into was a username with a space in it.  This

| space wreaked havoc with pathnames.  Eventually, I got it sorted out.

Who was wreaked havoc? bash? Cygwin? cygwin x? /etc/passwd?

| ...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.

cygwinx.dll?? Thats new, haven't seen it before.. I think?

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

How did you install, which files did you grabb from where?
