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?
