Hi All:
I fixed this problem. I was using the cygwin beta 1.7. I reinstalled
cygwin using the last stable release, 1.5.25.
I also had to add the "sleep 5" line to startxwin.bat and startxwin.sh.
So, I guess this is a defect to log against the 1.7 beta: the xterm
executable can't seem to connect to shared memory
for windows 7, home edition.

I turned off UAC, or so I am told.
The server seems to start up OK. But xterm cannot access the shared
memory? I ran this from the Cygwin.bat and got this stack dump.

I don't believe there is a workaround, unfortunately. Vista has the
same issue.
Isn't this just UAC? You can turn that off for a user if you want.
