Thanks.  I've had a look at http://cygwin.com/setup.html#setup.hint again, 
and once Cygwin-XFree86 starts being included in the setup.ini file, I think 
I will be able to get everything to work how I want it, depending on how the 
XFree part is packaged.  I'm assuming that each part will be in it's own 
package?

Rasjid.
