Home directory has blank space, X resources not recognized


Hi,

My employer is making us use Box Sync for backup.  We have to move all
directories we want backed up into the Box Sync folder.

So I have moved my Cygwin ~ (home) directory to that folder.  I
configured nsswitch.conf as follows:

    db_home:  /cygdrive/c/Users/reisert/Box%_Sync/Home

Most things are working. However, my Xterms are coming up in the
default 80x24 format with black text on a white background.  The Xwin
server does not seem to recognize my ~/.xserverrc file which contains
simply:

    exec /usr/bin/XWin -notrayicon "$@"

It does appear that my ~/.bashrc is executing normally.

What can I do to fix this?
