What I did was re-run setup.exe. XWin would still not startup. Then I
Deleted the cygwin install (except for the package directory).
Setup.exe
Did not recall/remember/read the package directory, it did a default
install.
The good news is XWin works now. The bad news is I must
remember/find/set the
Various packages I need in addition to the default.
I'm confused as to why the notion of setup.exe to leave a
bread-crumb-trail of
what was installed for-the-purpose-of driving a subsequent installation
is such
a controversial issue....

Uh, I think we have a simple misunderstanding...
