If XWin.exe is a Cygwin port then config and state should stay as
/etc
and $HOME files, preferably text files.
If however, XWin.exe is to become a "native" Windows application then
it should indeed use the registry. (And any discussion of persistent
state stored under /etc or $HOME becomes moot, since they don't exist
outside of the Cygwin/POSIX layer.)
