Since the FAQ tells me not to expect ("In your dreams, fella, in
your DREAMS!") replies on this list, I thought I'd provide one

email address that I subscribed with.

1. Is there what in some other OS's is known as a
"meta-package" for something like xfce4"
Um...in a word, no.
2. Alternate version of question above: is there a base xfce4
package whose install will corral in the collection of xfce4
packages needed to get a first approximation to a working
desktop up and running?
xfce4-session seemed to the trick.
3. Can the Cygwin packages collection be searched for a single
file to find what package provides it? Example:
'.xfce4-session'?
I have found cygcheck. I don't what I was thinking making
xfce4-session a hidden file. Oh well.
