I would love to become an expert on the subject of Cygwin and X and
Windows XP but am becoming more out of touch, as it were. I recently
followed a link from this mailing list to get started with the
Cygcheck utility and noticed that there are more than a couple of
entries in the registry. Anyway, as Cygwin is a sort of a POSIX
environment, there is very little dependence on the message-driven
paradigm of Windows programming and even less on the registry and
problems with case-insensitivity and registered filename extensions.
Server processes (such as the X Window System) are configured with
text files which are mainly located in your home directory and the
"C:/cygwin/etc" and /usr/share and /lib folders. It is unfortunately
beyond the scope of an Linux emulator to fathom all of the facilities
of X. Hopefully, another reader will tell you more exactly where to
start.

I'll be back.
