Hal,

First, wrong mailing list.  Use cygwin-xfree AT cygwin DOT com, where I have
redirected this discussion.  (Make sure not to reply-to-all since that would
send yet another email to the cygwin AT cygwin DOT com mailing list.)

> And yes, I checked, xwin is really not on my hard drive.

You mean you've looked for XWin.exe (that's the exact capitalization and
extension)?

From a Cygwin bash prompt, run:
cat /etc/setup/installed.db | grep XFree86


You should get ouput something like:
XFree86-base XFree86-base-4.2.0-1.tar.bz2 0
XFree86-bin XFree86-bin-4.2.0-1.tar.bz2 0
XFree86-doc XFree86-doc-4.2.0-1.tar.bz2 0
XFree86-etc XFree86-etc-4.2.0-1.tar.bz2 0

XFree86-fenc XFree86-fenc-4.2.0-2.tar.bz2 0
XFree86-fnts XFree86-fnts-4.2.0-2.tar.bz2 0
XFree86-fscl XFree86-fscl-4.2.0-2.tar.bz2 0

The key package here is XFree86-xserv.  Please report your version number for
this package.
