My Cygwin installation is Unix LF.

Ok, that helped a little. Thanks. I ran dos2unix on all the files in my
~/.fvwm directory and got rid of the syntax errors.

I am still not loading any of the *.xpm files because they are nowhere to
be found!

Also, "xload" is nowhere to be found.

Help! This seems to be a broken installation. Should I be asking about
this in the Cygwin/XFree86 list, instead?
