A few newbie problems

I just downloaded, installed, and successfully brought up (sort of)
XFree for Cygwin. However, I have the following problems/questions. Any
help is greatly appreciated. Thanks!
The FAQ says that there are pre-compiled binaries for LessTiff. At
ftp://ftp.hungry.com/pub/hungry/lesstif/bindist/ there isn't anything
that looks like binaries for Cygwin/XFree. Is this FAQ item out of date
or am I looking in the wrong place?
When I bring up the X Windows Mgr, it occupies the entire screen. On the
CygwinXFree website, the screenshots show the window manager running as
a window on the Windows desktop. How can I get this latter
configuration.
The startxwin.bat file has "\usr\bin\X11" as the path to the XFree bin
directory. After I did an install, the right path seems to be
"\usr\X11R6\bin". Is this symptomatic of a problem?
It seems strange that I fire things off with a Windows bat file. Is
there any reason that I can't start things with a bash script, for
example?
