exec wmaker & in /etc/xinit/xinitrc doesn't work

[Thomas Chadwick]

If you've never run wmaker before, you need to run 
/usr/X11R6/bin/wmaker.inst to configure your account.

If there's no wmaker.inst, then you don't have the WindowMaker package 
installed.  It's one of the packages available in the Cygwin Setup program.
