Re: Problem with startx

Please make sure your mailer respects the Reply-To header -- I set it for
a reason.

To start an X app as usual, simply start a Cygwin shell window and type
"DISPLAY=localhost:0.0 xterm &" (or even "DISPLAY=:0.0 xterm &").  You can
change the appearance of the xterm using either command-line parameters or
the .Xdefaults file.  Alternatively, install the X-start-menu-icons
package and use the appropriate Start menu icon.
