Just take a look in Setup under the XFree86 categorie - besides XFree 
itself, a bunch of apps that need X are listed there.

There's also the X-versions of diverse apps (like ghostscript, for

FWIW, you can find all the information you want in the archives of 
http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin-xfree/
and here:
http://xfree86.cygwin.com/

also: this thread is off-topic here. I've redirected it to 
cygwin-xfree at cygwin dot com and moved cygwin at cygwin dot com to bcc. 
Please make sure you don't reply to cygwin at cygwin dot com.
