Thanks,
That first command does indeed cause a server window titled "Cygwin/X:0.0
to appear (an all white window).
The next command gives some info and warnings, and then 10 of these:
winShadowUpdateDDNL - IDirectDrawSurface4_Blt () failed: 88760827
winShadowUpdateDDNL - IDirectDrawSurface4_Blt failure message maximum (10)
reached. No more failure messages will be printed.
and nothing shows up.
