x -query help please

["Jasper, Chris" <chris dot jasper at ngc dot com>]

Hello,
 
I have installed cygwin on a PC with Windows XP sp1 and all other patches with norton AV corp and no firewall software turned on. I am attempting to x -query to a machine called maple.
 
Here is the output on the cygwin screen:
 
$ x -query maple
Welcome to the XWin X Server
Vendor: The Cygwin/X Project
Release: 6.8.2.0-1 
 
Contact: cygwin-xfree@cygwin.com
 
XWin was started with the following command line:
 
x -query maple

The behavior is that a grey screen comes up in X. Normally I'd expect (and do from other machines using cygwin) to see a blue screen with a login (from redhat 9 as that is the OS on maple) screen.
 
I have uninstalled cygwin and reinstalled many times. When uninstalling, I run the uninstall portion of setup and when it is complete I delete the Cygnus registry and delete c:\cygwin before attempting a install all. No matter how many times I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling, I always get this problem.
 
Can anyone shed light on this?
 
thanks,
cj
