You'll have to make your own mind up about whether or not you trust the 
publisher of that program or not :-)

For what it's worth, the X server needs to be able to accept connections from 
client programs to work, and the firewall correctly considers this XWin to be 
a different program to the one in /usr/bin/, which you have probably permitted 
to accept connections at some time in the past...

OpenGL X applications won't work. I don't know if that concerns you or not :-)

Given your earlier problems with glproto, I suspect you don't have libGL 
installed properly...

$ cygcheck -f /usr/lib/dri/swrast_dri.so
libGL1-7.2-2

Thanks for being the guinea pig.  I'll update the CG document to hopefully 
clarify the things which caused you problems.
