I'm running the latest of everything Cygwin 1.7 (see below).

When I start the Xwin server from the Windows shortcut:

   D:\Cygwin\bin\run.exe /usr/bin/startxwin.bat

I see a bash.exe process running, but no X window comes up, as per:

REM Make sure XWin is ready to accept connections before proceeding
%RUN% checkX -wait -d %DISPLAY% -t 12

REM Startup an xterm, using bash as the shell.
%RUN% xterm -e /usr/bin/bash -l

Anyone else notice this?

The problem is the same on my laptop at work running WinXP, as well as 
my home system running Windows 7

There's another option. In startxwin.bat, you could use run2.exe instead
of run.  Instead of:

%RUN% bash -l -c "XWin -multiwindow -clipboard -silent-dup-error"

Use

%RUNTWO% /usr/bin/XWin.xml

where XWin.xml is something like the following (untested):

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="us-ascii"?>
<Run2Config
  xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
  xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="run2.xsd">
  <SelfOptions />
  <Global>
    <Environment>
      <!-- either of these, or both, and modified as desired -->
      <Set var="LANG"  value="C.ASCII"/>
      <Append var="CYGWIN"  value=" tty"/>
    </Environment>
    <Target filename="/usr/bin/bash.exe" startin="~">
      <Arg>-l</Arg>
      <Arg>-c</Arg>
      <Arg>"XWin -multiwindow -clipboard -silent-dup-error"</Arg>
    </Target>
  </Global>
</Run2Config>
