I would have thought so, too. However, the fact remains that the
outcomes are different for the two methods of starting X.
I can live with working around the second problem (that launching X
using the shortcut doesn't work at all) by invoking startxwin.exe
directly. I'm much more eager to solve the original problem (X no
longer recognizes input from the keyboard). So, while I don't want to
discourage anyone from looking for clues to solving the keyboard input
problem in the log file from the launch of X which blows up, I am
focusing on the original problem myself. Attached is the log file from
launch of X which does *not* result in the failure dialog window, but
whose X session is not able to use input from the keyboard.
