It was the latter.  I have been unable to get a working xorg-server with
both 7.0 and 7.1.  The client side works wonderfully, and can be used
either with the 6.8 Xwin or 6.9 Xming.

I haven't yet fully updated Ports' X11 to 7.2 for lack of time, although
I don't expect a change in this regard.

Please search the archives of cygwin-apps and cygwin-xfree for details.
