A small update: Daniel Gruber also helped me with this off-list and
identified that the multiwindow WM was causing the issue; running
-rootless with twm or wmaker instead resolved the problem.
So I guess it looks like -multiwindow with dual head displays is an issue?

I had this problem and traced it to a dual head issue.
My laptop was screen 2 and I had to disconnect it before the
startxwin.bat or sh would work properly.
I could not find a local configuration issue; Tried other users, etc.
Anyone know why or how to configure a dual monitor to work properly with
CygX?
