For ages I used
XWin -nolock -nolisten local -multiwindow &
xterm -display localhost:0.0
to get a xterm terminal.
Following recent updates I get a fatal error: "Cannot establish any listening sockets."
In the past, updates to XWin have sometimes led to similar difficulties, but I have always managed to iterate to a new successful joint syntax
XWin <arguments>
xterm <arguments>
but this time I am totally stymied.
Can anybody offer me a working syntax please?
Thank you.
Fergus

By default, XWin 1.17 no longer listens on TCP sockets, only on unix
domain sockets.
https://www.cygwin.com/ml/cygwin-announce/2015-06/msg00003.html
However, "-nolisten local" disables unix domain sockets.,
So to use unix domain sockets:
XWin -nolock -multiwindow &
xterm -display :0.0
Or to keep using TCP sockets:
XWin -nolock -nolisten local -listen tcp -multiwindow &
xterm -display localhost:0.0

I found that I also had to rejig my ~/.startxwinrc.
~/.startxwinrc:
---------------
xrdb -load $HOME/.Xresources
xterm -display :0.0 # xterm &
exec sleep infinity
