I would have thought so, too.  However, the fact remains that the 
outcomes are different for the two methods of starting X.

I can live with working around the second problem (that launching X 
using the shortcut doesn't work at all) by invoking startxwin.exe 
directly.  I'm much more eager to solve the original problem (X no 
longer recognizes input from the keyboard).  So, while I don't want to 
discourage anyone from looking for clues to solving the keyboard input 
problem in the log file from the launch of X which blows up, I am 
focusing on the original problem myself.  Attached is the log file from 
launch of X which does *not* result in the failure dialog window, but 
whose X session is not able to use input from the keyboard.
