default configuration not working


Hi,

I installed both Cygwin and Cygwin/X for the first time last week and also
updated with the new setup version 2.427 yesterday.  I have Cygwin/X
release 6.7.0.0-4 and my operating system is Windows XP pro.  When I start
Cygwin I get a Cygwin bash shell (with the C~ in the upper left corner)
and everything seems to work correctly.  My problem is that I cannot open
Cygwin/X in the default environment where I get an X Server, terminal, and
window manager.  Instead, two different things are happening to me when I
run the three different start options:

1. When I run startwin.bat or startx (after using whatever default
~/.xinitrc you get when following the directions here:
http://x.cygwin.com/docs/ug/using.html#using-starting and making no
modifications to the template) I get a small terminal with an X~ in the
upper left corner with green and yellow fonts and scroll bar.

2. When I run xwin.exe I get a full screen gray and black mesh with the X
Cygwin/X -0:0 words in the upper left corner and the regular Windows
minimize and close buttons in the upper right.  Other than that, the
display is completely empty (ie no terminals or the ability to add them or
anything).

I think the problem has somthing to do with display assignments, and thus
I am always sure to have every previous Xterm closed out to free the
display address before I open a new one.  This hasn't fixed the problem.

Here is what is displayed in the Cygwin bash shell when I type startx:

At this point the gray and black mesh screen appears.

Startwin.bat just opens the green and yellow terminal and I don't get any
explicit error messages.

Does any one have any idea why I can't display the default environment?
Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.  I've already tried
completely uninstalling and reinstalling, and then uninstalling and
re-downloading and installing from a different mirror site.  In
desperation, I also tried the font fix here:
http://x.cygwin.com/docs/faq/cygwin-x-faq.html  (error and warning message
8.4) to no avail.  I'm definitely willing to try anything.

Thank you so much,
Sara
