Are you looking for a minimal list of packages required?

I'm an atypical user (I have installed pretty much every available 
package at one time or another), but for my needs, a base cygwin install 
works fine after adding:

- openssh
- XFree (get the whole shebang while you're at it, clipboard integration 
with Windows works fine now)
- WindowMaker

All of these are listed in the setup.exe package list, and work "out of 
the box", as it were.

Mind you, there are some occasional issues with intricate stuff like X 
extensions and proprietary apps (we had some trouble getting CiscoWorks 
and other network management applications to show on a Cygwin X server, 
but tweaking X resources on the application end solved the problem)

R.
