startx doesn't run proprely

[hakobyan]

Dear Cygwin helper,

After the "startx" command it doesn't open X terminal. In fact, it  
sometimes open Xterm sometimes not, givin the following error message:

  Welcom to the XWin X Server
  Vendor: The Cygwin/X Project
  Release: 6.8.99.901-4

  Contact: cygwin-xfree@cygwin.com
  XWin was started with the following command line:
  X:0 -multiwindow -clipboard

  _XSERVTransSocketINETCreateListener:...SocketCreateListener<> failed
  _XSERVTransMakeAlloCOTSServerListeners: 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


Please, tell me what to do to get rid of the problem?
Thanks,

Try upgrading from this very old, monolithic X server
to the current version.  Don't forget to check the
announcement for details and helpful hints about this
upgrade.

Please don't repost the same question, particularly when it was already

The above looks like a likely culprit. Make sure the last instance is 
really gone before starting a new one. Closing xterm doesn't shut down 
the server, and if you just want a new xterm use the Cygwin-X shortcuts 
or right click the 'X' in the system tray and find it in the 
'Applications' list of the menu that pops up.

Good luck,
Ryan
