Using XWin.exe to connect to a linux X Server

[jose isaias cabrera]

Just to complete this issue, I had to delete the account and recreate it. 
The reason why was that I previously had an SPARC sunworkstion with Gentoo 
on it, and I rsync-ed all of the files and directories from that server.  I 
was running gnome on that server also, but somehow the previous settings 
were getting picked up by the new gnome, which was a newer version and it 
was kicking me out.  After creating the new user with the same name I am 
able to login and do my work.

thanks,

josé
