Jon,
For some reason which I have yet to investigate, XWin requires a tty to
the log to the terminal. That means it will output to terminal in VTs,
but will not work in ordinary cmd/bash shells without setting
CYGWIN=tty; instead you will see a cmd window briefly flashing on screen
when launched.
Have you seen anything that would be causing this?
