I should add that after doing startx 2>&1, the console error I'm seeing once I launch geomview from an xterm with ./geomview -run ../savi1.4.2/savi
and the local Cygwin/X display crashes under Geomview is: xterm: fatal IO error 11 (Resource temporarily unavailable) or KillClient on Xserver ":0.0" xinit: connection to X server lost. /var/log/XWin.0.og doesn't show anything beyond 'XOpenDisplay () returned and successfully opened the display'.
