The error looks something like this (this is startx/startxwin.sh output;
startxwin.bat doesn't output anything):

849 [main] ? (1920) X:\XXXXXXXXXX\cygwin\usr\X11R6\bin\xinit.exe: *** fatal
error - proc magic mismatch detected - 0x704D1F7E/0xC87757A7.
This problem is probably due to using incompatible versions of the Cygwin
DLL.  Search for Cygwin1.dll using the Windows Start->Find/Search utility
and delete all but the most recent version.  The most recent version
*should* reside in x:\cygwin\bin, where 'x' is the drive on which you have
installed the cygwin distribution.  Rebooting is also suggested if you are
unable to find another cygwin DLL.

...and similar error codes and the same message appear 5 more times.  Is
that telling me to downgrade back to 1.5.19-4 or what?  Just because it
feels that 1.5.20-1 is incompatible with X11?

BTW, when is X11R7.1 is going to replace X11R6?  It's so old that X.Org is
letting it to rot (not X11R6.9)!
