I just installed the latest Cygwin update.  In my /tmp/XWinrc I now see:

_XSERVTransmkdir: ERROR: euid != 0,directory /tmp/.X11-unix will not be created.
(II) XF86Config is not supported
(II) See http://x.cygwin.com/docs/faq/cygwin-x-faq.html for more information

I do not see quite this kind of error in the faq?

I started XWin with
XWin -unixkill -emulate3buttons -clipboard -multiwindow -silent-dup-error 

I still see:
Could not init font path element /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/CID/, removing from list!
I guess this is benign?

Thanks.

Lester
