Xwin failure

I can't get XWin to open. The X icon shows in the system tray, but 
xterm does not start and no other X-application can be started either. 
I followed advice for a similar problem in an earlier post--I 
uninstalled McAfee firewall, but the situation did not change. Here is 
/tmp/XWin.log

Welcome to the XWin X Server
Vendor: The Cygwin/X Project
Release: 6.8.2.0-4

Contact: cygwin-xfree@cygwin.com

XWin was started with the following command line:

XWin -multiwindow -clipboard -silent-dup-error

ddxProcessArgument - Initializing default screens
winInitializeDefaultScreens - w 1024 h 768
winInitializeDefaultScreens - Returning
_XSERVTransmkdir: Cannot create /tmp/.X11-unix with root ownership
winCheckDisplayNumber - Cygwin/X is already running on display 0

Fatal server error:
InitOutput - Duplicate invocation on display number: 0.  Exiting.

winDeinitMultiWindowWM - Noting shutdown in progress
