Okay but what am I looking for?  Is it an application, a process, a 
service or a "task" (in Windows terms)?  What name am I looking for?  
I've tried the Task Manager, MSCONFIG and Display Running Tasks but 
nothing obvious jumps out at me.  According to cygcheck -c I have 
packages xorg-cf-files, xorg-docs, xorg-scripts, xorg-server, 
xorg-server-dmx, xorg-sgml-doctools, xorg-util-macros and 
xorg-x11-bin-dlls installed and up to date.  I also have emacs, 
emacs-el, emacs-ocaml and emacs-X11 and bash, bash-completion and bashdb 
installed and up to date.

You also mentioned the default behaviour.  What would that be?  Can you 
point me to something that I can read to learn about the default 
behaviour please?

Thanks in advance
