X Issues

[Morty Bee]

I've been running cygwin-X with much satisfaction using fvwm2 windows
manager.  Initially I started X windows from a regular bash terminal
by typing xinit.  it would read the config files from the .fvwm
directory in my home dir.  I did some experiemtnation with icevm and
was able to install it and have with a desktop background image.  Both
windows managers were run with a single "parent" window where I would
launch other child windows (xterm, etc.).  I later change the way I
launch X windows to this:

C:\cygwin\bin\bash.exe --login /usr/X11R6/bin/startxwin.sh

startxwin.sh:

#! /bin/sh
export DISPLAY=127.0.0.1:0.0
export PATH=/usr/X11R6/bin:"$PATH"
export XAPPLRESDIR=/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/app-defaults
export XCMSDB=/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/Xcms.txt
export XKEYSYMDB=/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/XKeysymDB
export XNLSPATH=/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/locale

# Cleanup from last run.
rm -rf /tmp/.X11-unix

XWin -clipboard -silent-dup-error &

if [ $1 = "f" ]; then
  fvwm2 &
else
  icewm &
fi

# Return from sh.
exit

I did an upgrade using the cygwin setup.exe and afterwards I only get
the parent window, but no pop-up menu when I mouse click inside the
window.  Also it doesn't pick up any of the windows fixin's (task bar,
pop up menu, etc) and it has the ugly grey background.  This is the
case for icewm.  When using fvwm2, I do get the status bar and popup
menues, but nothing happens when I select an app from the popup menu.

I've spent a lot of time trying to understand what's going on and if
someone could point me in the right direction, I would be very
grateful.

Thanks.
