I figured that wouldn't actually make a difference since it lists all the 
fonts there, but I figured I would give it a shot anyway.

Here are the steps I performed:
1. Checked that the mount point was still listed
2. Closed all cygwin windows
3. Re-ran setup.exe
4. "reinstall"ed  xorg-x11-f100, xorg-x11-fcyr, xorg-x11-fenc, 
xorg-x11-fnts, and xorg-x11-fscl
5. Opened a cygwin shell and deleted /tmp/XWin.log
5. ran C:\cygwin\usr\X11R6\bin\startxwin.bat again

still no change. Here is a copy of the "new" XWin.log

$ cat XWin.log
_XSERVTransmkdir: ERROR: euid != 0,directory /tmp/.X11-unix will not be 
created.
