Lets give this one more try. It appears that my original request for help was met with some slight hostility by some list serv purists/ watch dogs. Quite simply, I've installed cygwin with a whole slew of packages. I was rocking and rolling. I was sshing under window maker with the best of them. One day, I made the mistake of reinstalling cygwin. Now when ever I start the X server I get a "Couldn not exec" error message and them my server dies! Let me clear up any confusion. I don't think this is a bug with XFree. I am not claiming XFree is broken and no, I don't want to search the bug list! What I am saying is that the xterm and console windows are always displaying this error message followed by some (maybe 2?) garbled characters and then the whole server dies within a couple of seconds. I surmise that this is some funky installation problem since everything worked before. When I start a cygwin bash or tcsh shell via a NT window, this message doesn't appear. When X starts up, the default start up script creates 3 windows (1 console and 2 xterm). Each and everyone of these windows displays the same exact message and then everything barfs. Any ideas?
