Hi,

I installed cygwin today and I have problems is starting X as a user.
Installation was done as Admin - and I can open X-Windows shells and 
programs as administrator. But when I try the same as Windows user I get 
error messages.
Unfortunately, my UNIX knowledge is quite outdated - but I guess it 
might be a problem with user rights.
I tried "chmod 1777 /tmp" but that didn't help. Before I search for ages 
- maybe someone knows a quick solution.


Thanks,
