The problem is that you have the variable DISPLAY set, so Xemacs assumes X =
is
running.

There are 2 solutions:

1) If you start Xemacs from a terminal, the just run `unset DISPLAY` before
starting xemacs, or find where the variable is set and avoid that.

2) Start Xemacs from a shortcut.  In the shortcut's properties use
"C:\cygwin\bin\run.exe xemacs" (adjust the path if necessary), you can also
change the icon with the one inside the xemacs executable (the one with the
version in the name).
