I was launching my main cygwin installation with the start menu shortcut (`C:\cygwin\bin\mintty.exe -i /Cygwin-Terminal.ico -`), but I was launching the X.org 1.16 cygwin installation by double-clicking C:\cygwin-xorg16\cygwin.bat. Thus I was running my X.org 1.16 cygwin installation with cmd.exe. When I launched my X.org 1.16 Cygwin installation by running `C:\cygwin-xorg16\bin\mintty.exe -i /Cygwin-Terminal.ico -`, this issue was resolved.
