XFree/Cygwin Crashes

[Bhaskar Mehta]

I installed Xfree/Cygwin 4.1.0 . The installation went okay , but the
startx script crashes after briefly showing a white screen.
I did not get a startwin.bat script , so I dont know if that would work.
I get the following message
$ startx

_XSERVTransmkdir: Owner of /tmp/.X11-unix should be set to root
