I use the standard startxwin.bat to start Cygwin X Server.  I believe it is 
"%RUN% XWin -multiwindow -clipboard -silent-dup-error" by default.
Then I telnet into my Linux box.  From there, I launch my java app which is 
Swing-based.  The java app is then open in a different window.  The app is 
working perfect in all aspects except for Drag-N-Drop.
