I've done a complete installation on X11 from Cygwin setup.exe.  But
when I try to start the "XWin Server" using the "Start" menu nothing
happens.  If I try either "startxwin" or "xinit" from the BASH shell I
get:

giving up.
startxwin:  No such file or directory (errno 2):  unable to connect to X server
startxwin:  No such process (errno 3):  Server error.

Any suggestions?
