I have been running cygwin & X for quite a while. Recently, my setup got corrupted after a setup session gone bad (not sure why).
Today, I reinstalled everything (cygwin & xfree) from the internet but I can't start a basic X server. Here's what I get:

$ startx

waiting for X server to begin accepting connections .
..
.. [repeated many times]
..
giving up.
xinit: Permission denied (errno 13): unable to connect to X server

waiting for X server to shut down

xinit: Server error

The /tmp/XWin.log doesn't seem to have particularly alarming messages,
except for the ownership message that I've read in the mailing list archive to ignore
(perhaps it no longer should???)
