Welcome to the XWin X Server
Vendor: The Cygwin/X Project
Release: 1.5.3.0 (20090205)
Contact: cygwin-xfree@cygwin.com
XWin was started with the following command line:

/usr/bin/XWin -multiwindow -clipboard -silent-dup-error 

ddxProcessArgument - Initializing default screens
winInitializeDefaultScreens - w 1280 h 1024
winInitializeDefaultScreens - Returning
_XSERVTransSocketUNIXCreateListener: ...SocketCreateListener() failed
_XSERVTransMakeAllCOTSServerListeners: server already running

Fatal server error:
Cannot establish any listening sockets - Make sure an X server isn't already running
winDeinitMultiWindowWM - Noting shutdown in progress

A very similar question has been asked recently

http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin-xfree/2009-09/msg00054.html

I would update the FAQ to include this question if I got any feedback about 
what the problem and solution is.
