An equal and opposite reaction... Is it possible to run XDMCP as a "server"
(sorry probably wrong terminology) on the cygwin side, so I can run say 
Xnest from
Linux, connect to XDMCP on Cygwin, login...?
And what does the xdm running as root message mean ... I even tried 
creating a user
called root and that didn't work...

Just out of interest
