  Dear All,
  I'm new to Unix-like environment. I downloaded all required Cygwin-Kde2
packages and while running
  startx &
  I get the error:
  [: Tenconi/.xinitrc: unknown operand
  [: Tenconi/.xserverrc: unknown operand

  My home directory is "Paolo Tenconi" and here are .xinitrxc and
.xserverrc, perhaps spaces aren't allowed in directory names?
  If so, what can I do?
  [Ralf Habacker] Please avoid space in your home directory path. This let
fail startx
  Regards
   Ralf
