Christopher, sometimes it is a good idea to look past the immediate
request.  While the question is not necessarily appropriate for this
list, there is an answer that is appropriate for this list.

Stephen, here is what you can do to resolve your problem.

1. Collect as much information you can and send it to the cygwin-xfree list.

2. Run setup.  When you get to the package selection list you will
notice a set of radio buttons at the top of the Window.  Select
"prev".  Now go to "X11" and select "INSTALL".  This should replace
all your X11 files with the previous version.

3. Monitor the cygwin-xfree group until you see the problem is
resolved.   Assist if you are able.

4. Once the problem has been resolved, and the solution has been
propagated to the mirrors run setup again and install the current
version.

Bill
