You're running a version which is quite old. Please try the 
lastet xorg-x11 packages. If this was a fresh install, plaese
consider using a different mirror, which is more up-to-date

Anyway, those kind of errors are common for running Cygwin/X 
with some personal firewalls and online virus scanners.  Do you
have any of those installed?
