Re: How do I start WM?

Perhaps you should follow my suggestion and try it. 

I double-clicked on c:\cygwin\bin\startx.  It opens a
dialog titled "Open With" that instructs one to "Choose the program you
want to use to open this file".

Does http://x.cygwin.com/docs/ug/using.html#using-starting-startx say to run startx by double clicking on it? Not it does not.

Hint: that will not work as startx is bash script, which Windows explorer has no idea how to run.
