cygwin + xwin in win7 as unprivileged user?


Is it possible to make Cygwin work with xwin as an unprivileged user.  I'm
even open to stupid hacks like making the entire Cygwin directory owned by
the "Everyone" group.  I tried that but then it couldn't create a socket
needed after I ran 'startxwin'.

Anyway to get this working without using "run as" admin?
