I can answer that one myself. Running startxwin from mintty works  
without a hitch. This is no big deal for me, but this still leaves me  
wondering why one of the officially recommended ways to start X (as  
per the docs, see  
http://x.cygwin.com/docs/ug/using.html#using-starting) fails on my  
system.
