If I remember correctly, with cygwin, you have to purposely install an
X11 server to get things to work, it is not a default. Xmanager is
free for 30 days and then $99 which is a lot considering there is
another free way to do it:

Download XLiveCD from http://xlivecd.indiana.edu/ and burn it to a CD.
Then when you want an X11 server on your Winox, just pop the CD in the
drive and it will run directly from the drive, without installing
anything on your HD and for free. XLiveCD is based on cygwin, but
works every time for me. I think it even gives you an option of
installing on the HD if you need the CD drive free while working on
IDL.

Hope this helps,
