I run Cygwin's X server and run xterm/bash windows and Emacs that way. I was just indicating that (provided DISPLAY=:0.0 is set, as you pointed out) WSL X apps play fine with the Cygwin X server. > Thanks god Cygwin is able to mount WSL's roots via P9 network file system.

When people post to Cygwin, I assume that are also subscribed and will get a response from there, and don't need _two_ emails. But I am sending this one both places. I also have not read net news in years - shouldn't be necessary if you're willing to receive Cygwin notes by email. Cheers - Eliot
