0.3.2 announced? I didn't get any such message, and setup still only offers 
0.3.1-1 to me.

Yes, the log didn't show anything unusual. (BTW: You got it from 
/var/log/XWin.log.0, not from stdout, right?)

Brief, running ``startxwin.bat'' from the Cygwin Bash Shell works while 
running it from a Windows Prompt (DOS window) does not. Right?

Ok, same check over there. In the Windows Prompt:

C:\cygwin\bin\run XWin

What does happen? Nothing?
