title: What has happened to startx on Cygwin?
body: <p>I just had my desktop computer replaced.  Both my previous computer and this one have Windows XP.  In order to work with the many Linux servers we have, I installed Cygwin along with its xterm package.  However, I cannot run startx to start the X-window server as I did with my previous computer.  I've been looking online to see why startx is missing from my install, but I haven't found anything yet.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.</p>

  <p>[Does more research]  Well, I just installed the xinit package, which I do not recall having to do before.  (It may have been a requirement for the xterm package the last time I installed Cygwin.)  startx now exists, but I wouldn't say it works.  The X-window server it starts creates a window that covers my entire monitor with three terminals within it, unlike the old 25 line x 80 column single terminal window I'm used to.  Worse, I can't just spawn child windows like I used to, which was the real power of using Cygwin with X-windows.</p>
