I found that deleting the /tmp/.X11-unix subdirectory before starting
the server got rid of this message. I have this in startxwin.cmd:
rem cleanup after last run
attrib -s c:\tmp\.X11-unix\X0
del c:\tmp\.X11-unix\X0
rmdir c:\tmp\.X11-unix
(I could probably add "if exist" to each line to suppress any error
messages.)

This file and the directory it's in are not in the standard
installation. I got around this by creating the directory
/etc/X11/xserver (the other is a symlink to this) and creating an empty
SecurityPolicy file in it ("touch /etc/X11/xserver/SecurityPolicy"). I
also added -ac to the Xwin command line.
