I will trie that this afternoon

I will try this if I have a little more time because Iīm working in a
production-environment and my cygwin-tries are only between the normal
production time

the same as above ;-)

Hmmm, itīs a good idea to use XDMCP. But I donīt know how to use it...
If I typ that string "XWin.ex -screen ... -query -from..." cygwin/XFree
is
starting...
but nothing more happens... Did I have to do something on my
Linux-Server?
Or am I  just to stupid to understand the problem?

Oh it was a typo? ;-) I know the correct spellness. But it also doesnīt
work
with one more 's'
XWin -help from MS-DOS Prompt doesnīt work for me, because of
cygwin1.dll is not
found in blablabla (it is there, I sware)...
