Since some recent update, those shortcuts no longer work. Here's the error message... A fatal error has occurred and Cygwin/X will now exit. Unrecognized option: /home/**user**/.serverauth.17056 Please open the logfile for more information. Vendor: The Cygwin/X Project Release: 1.18.4.0 Contact: cygwin@cygwin.com Package: varsion 1.18.4-1 built 2016-07-22 XWin was started with the following command-line: /usr/bin/XWin :3 -multiwindow -listen -auth /home/**user**/.serverauth.17056 Screenshot at http://bit.ly/2gEeJkZ . Also, when I do start X, Win32 PuTTY doesn't seem to be able to forward remote programs to it any more. PuTTY does have an option to point to a ".Xauthority" file, but that doesn't seem to help. I sw some threads a few months ago that sounded similar, but reading through them so far I don't see a concise solution.
