I thought the lists were being merged because there was next to zero
traffic on the X-cygwin list? Did that plan fall by the wayside? Besides, I
wasn't sure if there was some negative interaction being caused by the setup
problems.

Well, I didn't get the "Change Notification", if that's what you mean...:-)
I have read the FAQ's, but I don't re-read them with each release. I'm
pretty certain, I wouldn't notice a few new paragraphs difference in a
90k document...
I normally don't use the start-menu as it suggests, as I don't use the
same XWin start args nor start an xterm when starting X.

I think I'll go look more closely at the FAQ. :-)
The keyboard is functioning, now, on another remote app (make xconfig
-- which is what started this 'detour'). However, an Xterm running on a
remote (linux) system fails when trying to display to my "cygwin-OS" system
with a similar font problem, so I reckon some font paths have changed or moved.
Sigh.

I try to improve...just a bit slow sometimes or not sure when a
specific rule applies. I'm overly concerned (paranoid?) with dumping a large
quantity of script-produced data, since I don't know if there is something in
the dump that might create a security leak and I know the email list is archived
and publicly searchable forever. ;^/
