Can't type in login window via XDMCP

Hi folks,
First thanks to all who contribute. Xfree on Cygwin has been great.
However, I was seeing 2Gb+ XWin.log files and felt I needed to update. SO I
updated today and now I can't login via XDMCP. Here's the command line I
use:
c:\cygwin\usr\X11R6\bin\xwin -query zephyr.mydomain.com -from 192.168.1.4
The system I'm logging into is a RH ES2.1 server. I've been using the same
setup for months now.
The problem is that I can't type in the login window. Nothing appears. The
only thing I can see getting thru is the Caps Lock, which I find very
strange.
Even if I start xwin and then twm and an xterm I can't type in the xterm.
I do see a message in /tmp/XWin.log:
(EE) Unable to locate/open config file
InitOutput - Error reading config file
Do I need a config file? I haven't used one before.
I found this message:
http://sources.redhat.com/ml/cygwin-xfree/2003-10/msg00303.html and tested
http://www.msu.edu/~huntharo/xwin/devel/server/XWin-4.3.0-20-Test01.exe.bz2
and I can login. So it looks like the problem is in the new WaitFor.c code.
Now I'm hung at a blank screen, though.
Any help would be appreciated. I'm hosed for the time being.
Thanks
