XWin stopped working with xorg-server 1.7.1 - no log-file created

[Michael Breuer]

For what it's worth, I tracked that down yesterday by looking at the 
error log on the server - there was a complaint about clipboard - don't 
recall what... seemed innocuous but figured I'd try turning off 
clipboard. Viola, it worked.

One other point - as older versions of CygwinX have major issues (100% 
cpu) with the newer version of Gnome (now in F12), more people are going 
to be trying the beta and hitting this. Not sure what code is involved, 
but including this on the beta FAQ might be worthwhile.
