Viliam,

I'm sorry... the change I made has nothing to do with your problem.

Your problem is that the xinit command (located in /usr/X11R6/bin) cannot be
found.  This executable should be installed by default, but the PATH
statement in Cygwin is not updated to cause /usr/X11R6/bin to be an
executable search path.  Thus, if you open a Cygwin shell and cd to
/usr/X11R6/bin and try to run 'xinit' it won't work; however, running
'./xinit' will work.

But I'm getting a different problem when I change startx to use ./xinit:
MZ???ÿÿ,@???º?': not found
??º?': not found
1??: not found
??p{µ: not found
server: not found
ped: not found
X: 6: Syntax error: word unexpected (expecting ")")
giving up.

Fun, eh?

Harold
