Re: xfig for windows: libICE.dll missing

["Thomas Chadwick" <j_tetazoo at hotmail dot com>]

I visited the website you posted and they seem to have left out the fact 
that even if you use X-Win32, you still need to install some of the XFree86 
components into Cygwin to support X clients.

Since I'm not exactly sure which component(s) are needed, I suggest you 
install the XFree86-xserv package and use the Cygwin X server, XWin, instead 
of X-Win32.  This should fix your problem.

Note: If you're using the shortcut as described in the web site, change the 
Target to "startxwin.bat" (leaving the Start in path unchanged) to launch 
XWin.
