Please change package emacs-x11 so that it declares its dependency on package dbus-x11. Details: When doing a fresh install of Cygwin 64bit, I selected xlaunch, "emacs-x11" and a few other packages and let the dependency satisfaction mechanism do its thing. This resulted in a working X ServerI would say that it didn't result in a working X server in view of the error message, "D-Bus library appears to be incorrectly set up". The documentation on the Cygwin/X home page (http://x.cygwin.com/) says that you should install the xinit package in order to use the Cygwin X server. And xinit depends on dbus-x11. But not everyone reads the documentation before installing, so maybe xlaunch should require xinit. Jon? Yaakov?
Hmm... not sure about this.On the one hand, this is really a defect with xlaunch, which doesn't know enough to do all the things which xinit does (like starting a dbus session bus instance)
On the other hand, just making xlaunch depend on dbus-x11 would solve this problem.
