This is a path issue. 
A program searches dll in 
- directory where exe is located (a)
- current working dir (b)
- path (c)
- windows directories (d)

For XWin.exe this is ok. It finds its dlls in (a) and (b). But xwin runs
another program: /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xkb/xkbcomp. And this program can't find
cygX11.dll in /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xkb nor in /usr/bin. So you'll have to add
c:\Program Files\cygwin\usr\X11R6\bin to the default path (c).
