X Server cycling when trying to connect to gdm/dtlogin.

I'm trying to use Cygwin/X to connect to remote machines' gdm or dtlogin
session managers.
If I run:
XWin.exe -query <hostname>
I get the session login screen, can enter in my username and password and see
the desktop clear and appear to begin loading. Then all of the sudden the X
window quits and restarts back at the login screen again.
This happens with both Solaris 10 dtlogin sessions and RH gdm sessions. On
RH, if I choose "failsafe" (just an xterm with no WM), the login succeeds and
I get a single xterm.
Thought maybe this was a font issue, so I used the -fp tcp/<hostname>:7100 on
the command-line (yes, also modified xfs to accept tcp connections ...) but
the same thing continues to happen.
The XWin.log file doesn't show any errors that I can use to troubleshoot this,
and I don't see anything in the logs on the remote systems either.
Any hunches as to what the problem is?
Ray
(PS: I did add -logverbose 255 as well, but got no additional information).
