If I'm researching a problem, I try to reduce the number of possible failure
points. A nondefault port for xdm is such a failure point. Was Xwin started
with the correct parameter to reflect this nondefault port? If I could charge
the user for support minutes, I would be happy if he would make the problem 
difficult to solve.

You know why I've found that bug in cygwin with win95? Because I've read
the documentation. All those man pages, MSDN, FAQ, webpages. I found the 
error and made a patch. 

But a lot of questions on this list could be easily solved if the users would
read the documentation.
