X server fails to start on Vista

[Kim Goldov]

"Run as Administrator" did not make a difference. The "X" icon does not
appear hidden or otherwise, no terminal pops up (as it does on my XP
machine), and no process shows in the task manager.

The bash shell works fine.

The /var/log/XWin.0.log file appears as noted earlier.
