	I did that last time, then got another email from another admin saying
to try some other version instead of that one because the instructions were wrong.

	At that point, I gave up to go use Xming which didn't have the problem,
and was hoping someone else would run into it, since with cygwin, I have had it
set on autostart, and it usually crashes within 15-20 minuts -- make kernel, or 
almost any qt based util,... then I just start Xming -- which was stable until
this last cygwin update...which doesn't make sense, as I didn't think there was
any code overlap

(main thing is I can no longer click on 'X' in a window and have it close, I 
have to go through the program's menus in each program to close it...very
annoying.

'cygwin' shown' there is lower case...
it does make a difference in the environment (case that is()... it's
a function in my startup where I detect if I am on cygwin, then define
a func that returns shell true (0), else on linux would return 1...
then other parts in my startup script can use that

cygwin && . cygwin/xxx

or
cygwin || unixthing...
