    I installed cygwin on win2000. My use is exclusively
    to connect to linux, thus I only installed x11 & xfree86
    and some cygwin basics.

    When I launch 'startx', the singlewindow (with grey
    background) successfully comes up. But inside the
    single window, two problems.
    (1) all terminals (xterm, nedit, etc) have the same
    position and I cannot move around each terminal.
    Therefore I cannot use multitasking - very serious
    problem.

    (2) a popup window from the grey screen, activated by
    a mouse button, does not come up.

    When 'startx' is executed, a error message '.Xauthority
    is not found' appears. Would this be the cause? If so,
    what should I write into .Xauthority?

    Thanks,

    Sab
