Did you read the entire FAQ entry?

"If you are (perhaps unintentionally) using a copy of the old startxwin.bat 
(perhaps under another name) to start the X server, remove the environment 
variables XAPPLRESDIR, XCMSDB, XNLSPATH and XKEYSYMDB from it, or 
(preferrably) use the updated startxwin.bat."

So you're apparently using an old startxwin.bat/.sh.  While you can
certainly tweak things to make these work in the new environment, if
it's all the same to you, things will go easier for you if you use the
new scripts with the new environment.
