	That worked, but not immediately.  I still don't know
wether I am trying to put it into .Xdefaults, or what directory
that would go in (Windows default home or %HOME%), or whether
the file should actually be named .Winrc, as implied by the
tray icon (sometimes).

	I have gotten a bit of functionality back by modifying my
startx.bat script from:

[SNIP type="old"]
@echo off

C:
chdir C:\cygwin\bin

bash --login -c startx
[/SNIP]

	to

[SNIP type="new"]
@echo off

C:
chdir C:\cygwin\bin

bash --login -c "/usr/bin/startx -- -multiwindow -clipboard"
[/SNIP]

	I manage that in my .xinitrc, which was originally copied
from the system xinitrc.

	I only used the startx as shipped.  My start script (above) is the only modification I made.

	I'm one of them.

	Coming shortly.


	Thanks,
