Unfixable(?) fatal error with X Server 6.8.99.901-4


After a fresh installation of Cygwin on several computers, I continue
to encounter the same error upon execution of the startxwin.bat
script.  Unlike other users have reported, I always encounter it on
execution, regardless of whether or not an X server is already
running.  Unfortunately, this is a serious problem for me as I can no
longer get X servers running on any of my newly updated/installed
machines.

"a fatal error has occurred and Cygwin/X will now exit"
XWin was started with the following command line:
/usr/X11R6/bin/XWin -multiwindow -clipboard -silent-dup-error

I read up on this error, the best thread I found is here:
http://www.mail-archive.com/cygwin-xfree@cygwin.com/msg15983.html

Perhaps the reason my version will not execute at all is a new
6.8.99.901-4 (vs. -1) problem?

I attempted the author's suggestion of rolling back the xorg-x11-xwin
package to 6.8.2.0-4.  Unfortunately, now instead of outputing the
error, Xwin quietly stackdumps (and does not run).

I also tried rolling back every xorg-x11-* package to whatever version
was available, which ranged from 6.8.1.0-* to 6.8.2.0-*.  Again, xwin
quietly stackdumps.

I have copied below the output in /tmp/XWin.log using 6.8.99.901-4.
Please let me know if you would like any other information.
