I'm trying to run some normal text editor in cygwin (version 2.4.1(0.293/5/3)). I've really disappointed and frustrated with emacs :( So I downloaded and installed gedit as a part of cygwin package, but when I'm trying to run it, I receive:

$ gedit

Unable to init server: Could not connect to 127.0.0.1: Connection refused

(gedit:8196): Gtk-WARNING **: cannot open display:

I understand that it can be somehow connected with security issues (it runs on multiuser win10 PC), but I cannot find out how to solve it....

Please help!

This (startxwin >/dev/null 2>&1 & export DISPLAY=:0.0) work for temporary, not permanent. It is needed to type each time I close terminal.
