Hi,
I have installed cygwin in my system (from a mirror site in cygwin.com)
with the entire GNOME package. Still I am not being able to
open the GNOME desktop in my machine. As far as I know it should come up
if I invoke 'startx' from the shell.

Do I need to do anything else to bring up GNOME ?

Any comments/suggestions are welcome.

Thanks,
Atri.
