Sorry about that.  There is no option to turn it off
in webmail :-(

Thanks.  I have a related question:  does su work with
cygwin?  I had to log out and log in again as
administrator to run the program.  handle showed that
there were no programs using the file.

I finally solved the problem thus:  log in as the user
who started X successfully last and run startxwin.sh. 
This managed to start X.  Then shut down X.  Now X
works for all users.

Also, the -nolisten tcp is not given as an option for
XWin.  Does it work?

Thanks for all the help.
