xterm no longer accepts keyboard input

[Bob Kline]

I have used X under Cygwin successfully for years.  Yesterday I did an 
upgrade of my Cygwin installation and X stopped working.  After 
struggling to get things working again, I decided to just install Cygwin 
fresh and start over.  Now I can get the X server started (following the 
instructions in the Cygwin/X User's Guide, running /usr/bin/startxwin 
from a Cygwin shell), but xterm windows that I open do not respond to 
keyboard input.  I looked at the FAQ and found the entry (3.2 I upgraded 
my X server and now I can't type anything into any X application) which 
warns against using any older scripts to launch X, but as noted above, 
I'm invoking the startxwin binary directly.  Any thoughts as to what 
could be going wrong, given that this is an installation of Cygwin and X 
from scratch?
