Ok, so I enabled xdmcp and now I have a beautiful gnome signon screen.  But,
after login on, the screen disappears and the gnome signon screens appears
again.  Here is the output of the cygwin command line:

jicman 12:12:58-> XWin -clipboard -query d-tuxedo.na.xde3.xerox.org

So, I don't know where this DISPLAY above is from.  Is that the correct

Tahnks so much for the help and we are almost there, folks. :-)
