Environment windows not opening

[Harold L Hunt II]

Did  you try launching Cygwin/XFree86 with startxwin.bat?  That is the 
recommended method.

If it still fails, have a look at /tmp/XWin.log and send in the contents 
if you cannot find any errors.

Be sure to email us if startxwin.bat works so we know that you have been 
helped.
