Thank you for your reply Larry. Reading the page you suggested, I
realize my initial message was too vague. First of all this is cygwin
version 1.5.12-1 under Windows XP Professional. I have also run
"cygcheck -s -v -r > cygcheck.out" and attached the output to this
message.

Doing an "echo %DISPLAY%" in DOS yields :0.0 
Doing an "echo $DISPLAY" in rxvt/zsh yields :0.0

TIA
