It's pretty likely that the CDE and JDE sessions are exiting because something 
they are doing during initialization is returning an error they've decided 
they can't ignore.

The useful log in this case is almost certainly on the Solaris host.  I don't 
know where the relevant log is, but you might start by looking in /.dt/startlog.

I have a Solaris 10 Update 7 (5/09) VM, and I'm able to start CDE or JDE using 
XDMCP from Cygwin/X 1.6.5-1 under Cygwin 1.7 without problems.
