This alone does not solve the problem. The error appears
/*incorrectly*/ to be associated with the command line:
X:0 -multiwindow -clipboard
and in the /tmp/XWin file (log file), the last lines contain:
~snip~
winClipbaordProc - XOpenDisplay () returned and successfully opened the
display.
WinProcSetSelectionOwner - Clipboard not yet started, aborting.
WinProcSetSelectionOwner - Clipboard not yet started, aborting.
WinMultiWindowXMsgProcErrorHandler - ERROR: BadWindow (invalid window
parameter)
WinMultiWindowXMsgProcErrorHandler - ERROR: BadWindow (invalid window
parameter)
WinMultiWindowXMsgProcErrorHandler - ERROR: BadWindow (invalid window
parameter)
winClipboardProc - Call to select () failed: -1. Bailing.
winClipboardProc - XDestroyWindow succeeded.
winClipboardIOErrorHandler!
~end snip~
But the real problem is that the file extension for cygwin/tmp/XWin is
missing (or is .txt) upon installation.
Why this works under an administrative account is puzzling to me. When
the file is renamed as cygwin/tmp/XWin.*log*, in addition to the change
to startxwin.bat noted below, the program launches correctly.

This problem has been solved in the mailing archive. Here is snip from
my modified startxwin.bat file.

REM Mount local user %TEMP% as /tmp
mount -f -u -t %TEMP% /tmp
if not exist %CYGWIN_ROOT%\tmp\.X11-unix\X0 goto CLEANUP-FINISH
attrib -s %CYGWIN_ROOT%\tmp\.X11-unix\X0
del %CYGWIN_ROOT%\tmp\.X11-unix\X0

The solution is to mount the users own tmp directory as /tmp for
CygwinX.

Subject: Running Cygwin on multi-user Windows XP
Cygwin when installed on Windows XP multi user machines will only run
under the account in which it in installed. In addition, the account
must have administrative rights, which is totally unacceptable.
What do I have to do to get it to run on non-administrative accounts
that were not the account under which it was installed?
