problem

I have installed cygwin and everything seems to run smoothly except I 
can't get any display to work.  If I execute XWin then it opens up a 
grey window with an "X" at the top followed by "Cygwin/X-0:0" and 
that's it.  There's no menu options or anything.  If i do "XWin -query 
remote_host" then the same thing comes up with "Cygwin/X-
remote_host".  
If I connect with "ssh -Y remote_host" it connects me but if i try to 
execute something that requires a display...such as "xeyes"...Then it 
says "connect 127.0.0.1 port 6000: Connection refused/ Xconnection to 
localhost:12.0 broken (explicit kill or server shutdown)"

So i don't know what I'm doing wrong.

Thanks a lot,
-Richard Hildner
