Hello.  This evening I updated some files for cygwin, which I run on
my Windows XP machine.  When I try to re-open my X-window, I now get
the error message:  
A fatal error has occurred and Cygwin/X will now
exit. Please open /tmp/XWin.log for more information.  
Vendor:  The Cygwin/X Project
Release: 6.8.99.901-4
Contact: cygwin-xfree@cygwin.com
XWin was startedwith the following command-line:
XWin -clipboard -silent-dup-error  

When I look in the XWin.log file, I see the message below.  I have
tried looking at your website, but so far haven't figured out a fix. 
Can you tell me what I might have done wrong?  The file "rgb" is
definitely no longer in that directory, but I don't know how to get
it.  

Couldn't open RGB_DB '/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/rgb'
_XSERVTransmkdir: ERROR: euid != 0,directory /tmp/.X11-unix will not
