My primary desktop is a Windows XP box. I started out using gschem
and PCB with the Cygwin X server. It worked, but running them "directly"

I think I put that badly.
The nc symbols are purely for visual purposes. They don't of

Add the pins to the symbol, name them as already suggested and then in
schematic add one of the not connected symbols
(nc-bottom/left/right/top-1.sym in the "Misc unsorted symbols"
library) to each pin.
That should ensure that all the pins in the symbol and the footprint
then match but the nc symb
