Just thought I'd throw this out for those of you having trouble starting the X server. I had been using the stock icon to launch the X server, which shortcuts to:
C:\cygwin\bin\run.exe /usr/bin/startxwin.bat
This worked fine, except that the xterm did not appear. I could click the xterm icon, and that xterm would appear. After a little testing, I found that changing it to:
C:\cygwin\bin\startxwin.bat
...caused server startup with the xterm. Setting the shortcut to run minimized mitigated the pop-and-poof console.
HTH,
Mike
