Subject:	X11 Fails to load on WindowsXP normal user
X-IsSubscribed:	yes

I installed Cygwin on Windows XP with X11.  I tested it and it works as 
expected.

Then I logged in as a normal user (not administrator).  I get the 
following error when trying to X11:

A fatal error has occurred and Cygwin/X will now exit.
Cannot open log file "/var/log/xwin/XWin.1.log"

Please open the logfile for more information.

Vendor: The Cygwin/XProject
Contact: cygwin AT cygwin DOT com
Package: version 1.17-2.2build-2015-08-11

XWin was started with the following command-line:

/usr/bin/X :1 -auth /home/user/.serverauth.2872

I performed a fresh install of Windows XP and got the same results.

I found that if I add the user account to Administrators X11 will then 
work without errors.

Can someone advise what has to be done to make X11 work with a normal 
user's account?

Thanks.
