xterm no longer accepts keyboard input

I have used X under Cygwin successfully for years. Yesterday I did an
upgrade of my Cygwin installation and X stopped working. After
struggling to get things working again, I decided to just install Cygwin
fresh and start over. Now I can get the X server started (following the
instructions in the Cygwin/X User's Guide, running /usr/bin/startxwin
from a Cygwin shell), but xterm windows that I open do not respond to
keyboard input. I looked at the FAQ and found the entry (3.2 I upgraded
my X server and now I can't type anything into any X application) which
warns against using any older scripts to launch X, but as noted above,
I'm invoking the startxwin binary directly. Any thoughts as to what
could be going wrong, given that this is an installation of Cygwin and X
from scratch?
