-multiwindow crash under XP

[Ken Dibble]

A cursory search of the cygwin-xfree mailing list

would have returned

http://sources.redhat.com/ml/cygwin-xfree/2004-06/msg00100.html
(and more)

which talks about a variety of reasons for X failing

including
mounts,
firewalls,
and others.

If you have already read and followed these suggestions, knowing this 
would have helped,
as would reading and following

http://www.cygwin.com/problems.html
