Hi,

After a recent Windows update, I am unable to start Cygwin's X server
anymore. I tried updating to the latest Cygwin by running setup again,
/usr/bin/rebaseall and rebooting. There are no obvious errors from the
X server if I run /usr/bin/startxwin from a Cygwin console, but it
seems to exit after 20 seconds or so:

$ date; /usr/bin/startxwin; date

Any ideas about what how to fix or troubleshoot this? I use it all the
time and it worked before this update.
