xterm fails even when DISPLAY is set


Hi,
 
I have just installed cygwin-1.5.19, and cannot open an xterm.
 
I start the XWin server and the task manager shows that XWin.exe is
running. When I type "xterm" on the command line nothing happens - no
window appears and no error message is reported. The return status from
the xterm command in 53.
 
XWin is started as follows:
 
$ export DISPLAY=127.0.0.1:0.0
$ /usr/X11R6/bin/startxwin.sh 
 
The output is shown below, and also the log file /tmp/XWin.log
 
When I run xterm, nothing happens:
 
$ xterm
$ echo $?
53
 
When cygwin was installed I simply installed everything - I didn't
attempt to do a customised install ie. omitting certain packages etc.
However I have found that some utilities like "/usr/bin/less" and
"/usr/bin/tbl" were missing, so I installed the "less" and "groff"
packages. Maybe that indicates my install is not complete?
 
I have tried the "twm" window manager and it too fails:
$ twm
twm:  unable to open display "127.0.0.1:0.0"

$ echo $DISPLAY
127.0.0.1:0.0

$ xhost +
xhost:  unable to open display "127.0.0.1:0.0"
 
If I start XWin directly:
$  /usr/X11R6/bin/XWin.exe 
I get a "Cygwin/X" window covering the entire screen, but I can't open
any windows within it. It appears to be useless. Output from running
this command is shown below.
 
Running "startx" on the command line is also unsuccessful - when xterm
is run nothing appears:
$ export DISPLAY=127.0.0.1:0.0
$ startx
Output from startx is shown below
 
The installation added Cygwin entries to the Windows main menu. Under
Cygwin there is a launcher for bash shell (which works) and under
Cygwin-X there are sub-menus Editors, Information, Tools and Toys. These
are all empty. I thought there should have been an "xterm" launcher
somewhere in the Cywin menus.
 
Does anyone have any suggestions as to what the problem could be?
 
Regards
steve
