More info:

If I run startxwin.bat from a CMD.exe command line, the bash console
xterm opens just fine. I only have problems starting it from the
shortcut.

I do see some interesting things in the log file, however:
[...]

Warning: Missing charsets in String to FontSet conversion

Try installing the font-isas-misc, font-jis-misc, and font-daewoo-misc packages. See

http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin-xfree/2009-11/msg00111.html
http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin-xfree/2009-11/msg00117.html

I tried adding the missing fonts. I tried SET LANG=C
Starting the X server is still unpredictable. Now my log file (attached) shows:


2009-11-20 08:01:58 winClipboardProc - Could not open display, try: 1, sleeping: 4
2009-11-20 08:01:58 XFree86-Bigfont extension local-client optimization disabled due to lack of shared memory support in the kernel
2009-11-20 08:01:58 winInitMultiWindowWM - Could not open display, try: 1, sleeping: 5


It also claims another window manage is running (and therefore shuts down), which is untrue (there is no other Xwin process running).
