Not sure what you mean here.  I run Cygwin's X server and run xterm/bash windows and Emacs that way. 
  I was just indicating that (provided DISPLAY=:0.0 is set, as you pointed out) WSL X apps play fine 
with the Cygwin X server.

Not sure what P9 is :-) ..

??  When people post to Cygwin, I assume that are also subscribed and will get a response from 
there, and don't need _two_ emails.  But I am sending this one both places.  I also have not read 
net news in years - shouldn't be necessary if you're willing to receive Cygwin notes by email.
