Unfortunately, the most recent threads on vista do not seem to be related 
to my problems and/or are for Vista64-bit.

As far as the snapshots, no dice there either. When I run startxwin.bat, 
the "X" system tray icon appears, but xterm never starts. The only process 
running appears to be XWin.exe and it is not taking any CPU time. When I 
try to click on the icon in the system tray, XWin.exe maxes out one of my 
CPUs and that's it.

I would be more than happy to put up an strace somewhere so that somebody 
can look at it.
