Thank you for the response. startxwin.sh result seems identical to startx.
startxwin.bat actually starts the server, but it's not viable:
(1) run startxwin.bat in win command shell. X appears in sys tray.
(2) "env DISPLAY=127.0.0.1:0.0 xclock & " in a cygwin shell: no window opens.
(3) "env DISPLAY=127.0.0.1:0.0 xlogo &" in a cygwin shell: X window opens,
but if you breathe on it, an error occurs (if you hit 'return' in the cygwin
shell, or if you just alt-tab to the X window and back). Error message is
Xlib: sequence lost (0x10000 > 0x32) in reply type 0x0!
X Error of failed request: 0
Major opcode of failed request: 0 ()
Serial number of failed request: 0
Current serial number in output stream: 50
I can also run 'XWin -multiwindow' in a cygwin shell, and get a similarly flaky X session.

Well I did, actually; the full error dump is in the previous report that I linked to,
and there's even more info (from another user with an identical problem) in a report
linked to from there. I didn't think it was useful to replicate the full dump, I had
no new information.
And, re putting my full address in: no sweat, I get so much spam already at this
address it's doubtful it will make any difference.
