Startup error in new xemacs distribution within cygwin distribution

Sun Feb 1 22:30:00 GMT 2004

I just installed all the new xemacs packages within the cygwin
distribution. I also updated my cygwin to DLL 1.5.7-1 release.
When I try to start xemacs I get the following
> xemacs

WARNING:
Couldn't find an obvious default for the root of the XEmacs hierarchy.
Then xemacs hangs for a minute or so and then the bash prompt returns.
I then realized that xemacs wanted an xserver, when I started one up,
it started, with the same warning. The documentation on this mailing
list indicated that xemacs wouldn't need or use X if the server wasn't
running. Seems as though packages can be found if running under X.
