Thanks Thomas,
The thing is, no matter what I put in those files, it either starts XWin
with a border, or not at all.
And when I do get it to start up, there is always a console mode window
hanging around until I close it, and that closes XWin...
*sigh* I AM trying to understand how all this stuff fits together, but I'm
not having very much luck.

RTFM! Do "man xinit" from the Cygwin command-line and read the 1st 3
paragraphs.
