Does Cygwin/X also need or use a user based auhentication?
There are several authentication mechanisms. The host based and a ticket based. The hostbased is configured with xhost, /etc/X0.hosts
and the ticket based with xauth
see man Xsecurity for details.

I wonder why sometimes :0.0 is needed and other times not?
Where is :0.0 not required?
"....to connect to a single remote session using XDMCP:" XWin.exe -query remote_hostname_or_ip_address
