Peng, Brian,

IMO, this question (in fact, the whole thread) belongs on the cygwin-xfree
list, which specializes on all Xwindows questions.  People there are much
more likely to know the answer to this and other X queries you might have.
I've forwarded this message there, and set the Reply-To accordingly.
