XWin 6.8.99.901-4-Problems with fonts and clipboard module - cygcheck.out (0/1)

[Robert Neville <robert_neville310 at yahoo dot com>]

I am reposting my problem since it has not been resolved after forty hours of troubleshooting the
situation.   Even though this mail list gave me some insight, I still need better guidance. General
comments will not help this newcomer decipher the error log and deduct the course of action. This
post is my last effort to avoid installing and reinstalling cygwin, which will provide a challenge
after setting up ssh and all the paths. 

Startx failed to initialize when it had been working in the past. I ran setup and the process may
have not completed (it was late). After running setup.exe again, I navigated to the System category
and reinstalled rebase. Then I reviewed the README file; kill all processes associated with cygwin;
ran ash; and typed /bin/rebaseall -v; the utility performed some actions and returned without
errors.

I fired up a cygwin console and startx would still not initialize. The console gave me the following
font error.

sageQueue trapped WM_QUIT message, exiting main loop.
winClipboardProc - XDestroyWindow succeeded.
FreeFontPath: FPE "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/misc/" refcount is 2, should be 1; fixing.


I have also removed the clipboard and multiplewindows arguments from the startx script; it did not
help. The clipboard module is the main advantage of running X for me.  Startxwin.bat and starxwin.sh
do not launch Xwin either. Xwin should not be conflicting with a firewall; since this system does
not have software firewall.

After reinstalling X and all fonts, I mounted the font path and still receive this error.

Could not init font path element /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/CID/, removing from li
st!

The cygwin console appears fully functional. Please give me whatever insight you may have on these
scenarios. I can read the logs, but I can not decipher them am not familiar with the action
necessary.  I found this interesting commentary as well (it didn't work either).
